The déjà vu election; plus, losing faith in politics in "Great Expectations"

The 2024 presidential election will be a rematch between former
President Donald Trump and President Joe Biden; and with that
rematch comes political fanfare, some public apathy and déjà vu. To
take a look at the public perception of this repeat race, host
Brittany Luse is joined by NPR political correspondent Danielle
Kurtzleben and NPR White House Correspondent Franco Ordoñez.

Then, Brittany is joined by Vinson Cunningham to discuss his debut
novel, Great Expectations. It's a period piece that follows the
story of a young man working on an election campaign that echoes
that of Obama's 2008 run. Ultimately, it's a novel about belief -
both religious and political. Brittany and Vinson discuss American
politics as a sort of religion - and why belief in politics has
changed so much in the last decade.

To end the show, Brittany shares her thoughts about "Kate Gate" and
the mysterious case of royal photoshopping.
