Mark McKinnon — co-creator of “The Circus: Inside the Greatest Political Show on Earth” — joined The Colorado Sun for a moderated conversation and Q&A session at Colorado SunFest 2025 on May 16, at The University of Denver.
McKinnon is one of the most experienced and respected minds in contemporary politics. Here we speak about anything and everything — including what we should have learned about voter behavior in the run up to the GOP nomination of Donald Trump, McKinnon’s work with the No Labels political movement, the perplexing nature of Gen Z voters, and an interesting discovery about his Civil War-era ancestors that has informed his thinking about race and identity in America.
