Peterson to discuss their new joint research, which finds that states that voted for Kamala Harris in the last presidential election saw more learning loss following the Covid-19 pandemic than those that voted for Donald Trump, according to the most recent results from the 2014 National Assessment of Education Progress.

“Red States Have Seen Less Learning Loss,” co-written by Hartney and Peterson, is available now.
