Presbyterian College student Warner Bush wins statewide honor for political research
Presbyterian College student Warner Bush is the 2025 recipient of the Mary Jeanne Byrd Award from the South Carolina Political Science Association. The prestigious honor, presented at the association's annual conference, recognizes the top undergraduate political science paper in the state. Bush's award-winning paper, "Social Issues and Self-Identification: An Ideological Analysis of the 2020 Election,"examines how American voters define ideological labels like "liberal" and "conservative," and how those definitions shape the issues they prioritize. His research concludes that social issues-especially abortion and immigration-played a more defining role in ideological alignment in 2020 than traditional economic concerns.
