What: MSNBC and “Today” show political analyst Steve Kornacki, who has been a frequent commentator on the presidential campaign and its outcome, will headline the event “Election 2016: What the #&^! Happened” at UMass Lowell.

Kornacki – a native of nearby Groton who took classes at UMass Lowell – has been providing daily, in-depth analysis of the presidential race and what has happened since the election on MSNBC and “Today.” His coverage during the election included polls by UMass Lowell’s Center for Public Opinion of likely voters in New Hampshire and a national survey of millennials that found nearly a quarter would have rather seen Earth hit by a giant meteor than vote for Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump.

At the program, Kornacki will offer his take on how the campaign played out, the events that have unfolded since Nov. 8 and what it all may hold for the future of American politics.

Kornacki is the former politics editor for Salon and his work has appeared in The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Boston Globe and other publications.

The event is being hosted by the Center for Public Opinion, along with the UMass Lowell Department of Political Science and the College of Fine Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences.

Where: O’Leary Library Learning Commons, South Campus, 61 Wilder St., Lowell. For directions and parking information, contact UMass Lowell media relations.
