I just need this out in the world before one more person slanders my people: We, the people who proudly call Michigan home, cannot explain Haley Stevens’s accent. It is not the accent of *any* of our people. Maybe it’s changed since she moved to DC (mine has!), but it is not a Michigan accent.

New work with Chris Krewson and Miles Armaly! We show that (1) nominee support (via shared presidential partisanship) has significant downstream effects on SCOTUS approval, and (2) it is enduring, lasting long after the confirmation process journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1...
