After an extraordinary year, the United States is hurtling toward the 2020 elections. Arguably, these may be the most important elections in memory, not only for the US itself but for the world as a whole.
Will the Democrats, from Biden to congressional candidates, be able to put Trumpism behind them, or will at least the Senate, if not the White House itself, continue in Republican hands?
This Lunch Briefing will begin with a quick tour d’horizon on the trends for the presidential race and the two houses of Congress, followed by a discussion on the implications of different scenarios for policy-making, and end with questions from the audience.
