Election Day in America: A Pre-Analysis from Berlin

    • November 03, 2020

    • May 20, 2025

On Tuesday, November 3, 2020, the Aspen Institute Germany hosted a virtual discussion on “Election Day in America: A Pre-Analysis from Berlin.” Rarely has a U.S. presidential election sparked as much attention, mystification, perplexity, and concern as the 2020 race to the White House – both in the U.S. and abroad. No matter who will emerge as the winner on Election Night (or in the weeks to come), the aftershocks will be felt in Germany, Europe, and around the world.
On the eve of the U.S. presidential election, leading representatives of the transatlantic community will came together in Berlin, in order to provide an early assessment of the events unfolding across the Atlantic. Over the course of the discussion, the heads of the most important transatlantic institutions and political foundations voiced their hopes, expectations, and concerns regarding the immediate election and the future of the Euro-American bond – before the polls closed.
This event is part of the virtual Road to Election Night & Beyond, which the Aspen Institute Germany organizes in cooperation with several Berlin-based transatlantic institutions and political foundations. More information on the event series can be found here: https://landing.berlin-election-night.de.
