Immel Professor Emeritus Joel Goldstein is like a flower that blooms every four years.  As the office of the vice president has evolved and grown with each administration, the popularity of the nation's leading scholar on the role of the vice president has only increased in cadence.

With former president Trump choosing a running mate in J.D. Vance, and the race to the White House heating up, Professor Goldstein has been lending his expertise far and wide. Here are few of  his recent interviews:
