Description

This Routledge book examines the paradox of celebrity politics in America, exploring how the very attributes that enable celebrities to win elections often leave them unprepared to govern effectively. Drawing on historical concerns dating back to the U.S. Constitution's framers about an undereducated electorate electing unqualified entertainers, the author identifies and measures the specific characteristics that propel celebrity candidates to victory. As celebrities increasingly influence American politics through fundraising, campaign surrogacy, and direct candidacy, this work provides essential analysis of their expanding role in the political process and offers critical perspective on how star power shapes democratic institutions and policy outcomes.
