Stories from the Stoop: Kiki comes home

We live in bubbles. Many of us have few friends whose political beliefs differ from ours-- and that’s true also for social media. The circles you run in, the content you interact with online, probably echo your views. 

According to the Pew Research Center, while most Americans prefer news apps and websites, an increasing number turn to social media for news. 

What does all this mean for how we experienced the campaign …or reacted to the results on election day?

Jen Golbeck is a professor at the University of Maryland where she studies extremism, social media, malicious online behavior, and artificial intelligence.

An expert in extremism attended Trump rallies. What did she see? 

As most of the nation shifted to the right, Maryland stayed predictably blue, and chose Democrats for its job openings in Washington: In addition to Prince George’s County Executive Angela Alsobooks prevailing over Republican former Gov. Larry Hogan to represent the Free State in the U.S. Senate.

Baltimore County Executive Johnny Olszewski won a seat in Congress, as did State Senator Sarah Elfreth of Anne Arundel County.

To help us better understand what Maryland voters were saying, we speak with UMBC political scientist Mileah Kromer; Lisa Snowden, editor in chief of Baltimore Beat; and John Lee, who covers Baltimore County for WYPR.

Correction: This interview mistakenly updated the race for Maryland's 6th Congressional District House seat. The race has not been called yet.
