PARKVILLE, Mo. -- Six days away from the election, Park University held a discussion with two professors that didn’t focus on election results, but rather focused on what would happen after the election, both in the United States and abroad. Associate Professor Matt Harris and former professor of political science Jack MacLennan took the stage again after starting the discussions in 2020. “It may not end up being extremely close,” Matt Harris said. “But as of right now we don’t have a sense of who’s up or who’s down.” The professor said that since the race is so tight ahead of election day, he thinks counting the votes will go beyond Tuesday and even later in the week. If Kamala Harris wins, he says that she could face a lot of questions about the economy. Kamala Harris campaign to advertise on Las Vegas Sphere, a political first “Especially being from the incumbent administration, when people feel like the economy isn’t where it should be, that’s the incumbent administration,” he said. He also thinks that she might have trouble passing legislation, as seats in the house and senate could change which party is in control in congress. “Is she able to do that? What does the congress look like that would allow her to enact some of those plans?” Matt Harris added. While Matt Harris focuses on domestic reaction, his counterpart on stage, Jack MacLennan, prefers to look at the reaction on a global scale. “She’s going to have to fight an uphill battle,” he said about Kamala Harris. “Because she has carried the mantle that Biden did of a more traditional ally focused, globally engaged foreign policy.” He said that there’s hesitation from other world leaders as the election draws closer. “There’s lots of things going on in the global environment right now, that are being deeply shaped by the fact that we don’t know who’d going to win the election.” Should Donald Trump win the election, Matt Harris will look to Trump’s cabinet choices to see who he trusts. “So like who is in his administration? Who is in his ear?” Matt Harris asked. “Because that is a lot of what ends up driving some of the decisions that are made.” He says that no matter who wins, he’s still thinking about what happened on January 6, 2021. “We can't lose sight of what happened in 2020 where you had people storming the capitol, and so you also had some nefarious plans to try to put forward alternate slates of electors. So, I think that's always a question.” See the latest headlines in Kansas City and across Kansas, Missouri MacLennan thinks that if Trump wins, the global reaction might be felt quickly, as he would expect negotiations between Russia and Ukraine to begin again. “If he gets elected, you’ll probably see that move pretty quickly,” MacLennan said. “I also probably think you’ll see the wars in the Middle East persist.” He says that the hesitation from other world leaders shows how the United States is deciding it’s own fate, but that decision will affect the entire world. “We're still a country that needs to think about the fact that what we decide to do creates our environment around us,” MacLennan added. “And that we want that environment to remain conducive to our interests for as long as possible.”
