Political scientist Dante Scala is considered the best expert on the New Hampshire primaries. The politics professor sees many signs of another triumph for Trump – and unexpectedly big problems for Joe Biden.
Dante Scala, a politics professor at the University of New Hampshire, meets for an interview at the restaurant where all presidential candidates have to stop by during the election campaign: The Red Arrow Diner in Manchester, the largest city in the state. A place for workers, the prices are reasonable, the portions are large, and there are dozens of photos of prominent visitors hanging on the walls: Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, Donald Trump, Joe Biden. These are Scala’s seventh primaries that he is examining scientifically. A conversation about a possible triumph for Donald Trump, the status of Joe Biden – and the best possible outcome of the US elections.
