Dr. Michael Nelson, a recognized Presidential scholar and the Fulmer Professor of Political Science at Rhodes, is featured on the Transition Lab podcast discussing the political dynamics that define a U.S. president’s first and second term. He explains how new presidents can maximize their impact during their first year in office, and he outlines the challenges two-term presidents face during their fifth year.
Transition Lab is a behind-the-scenes look at presidential transitions presented by the Partnership for Public Service’s Center for Presidential Transition.
Nelson can be heard on the podcast here under “Planning for a President’s Second Term.”
