Can President Erdogan Win A Third Term?

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's popularity was already declining even before the massive earthquakes that hit the country on February 6th, with the economy in the doldrums amplified by the President’s unconventional monetary policies. However the devastation from the disaster, which the World Bank estimates at USD$34 billion, has raised public furor towards the government. What impact might this have on Erdogan's re-election chances? We discuss the political impact of the earthquakes in Türkiye with Middle East expert Dr. James Dorsey.
