The next event in the virtual event series “Road to Election 2024” focussed on an administrative overhaul in case Donald Trump will win the United States presidential election. Trump stands a roughly even chance of winning the presidency, and with this potential transition looming, attention has turned towards Trump’s agenda to eradicate the “Deep State” and ongoing preparations for the implementation of such agenda. Plans such as Heritage 2025 Agenda and America First Transition Project have outlined a series of staffing plans and overhaul initiatives that could significantly shape the direction of governance if Trump assumes office for a second term.
Together with Dan Caldwell (Public Policy Advisor, Defense Priorities) and Jeremy Shapiro (Research Director & US Programme director, ECFR) we talked about the plans for an administrative overhaul during a second Trump administration, discussed what they mean for America and Europe and described the parallels to the Hungarian experience. The event was organized and hosted by the Road to Election partner organization European Council on Foreign Relations (ECFR). Please find more information here.
The 2024 U.S. election will significantly shape the transatlantic political environment and policy landscape. Transatlantic organizations play an integral role in convening thought leaders, bringing a transatlantic perspective to U.S. and European domestic policy discussions, and influencing public discourse on both sides of the Atlantic. This will be particularly important in 2024, which is why the Aspen Institute Germany is pleased to partner with over 25 other transatlantic organizations and political foundations on the “Road to Election 2024” virtual event series. Information about all events in the series can be found at: www.roadtoelection.de. Running from January 2024 to January 2025, the virtual event series will host in-depth discussions and foster a vibrant exchange of ideas in the lead-up to the pivotal 2024 U.S. election. The initiative’s events will feature prominent researchers, policymakers, commentators, and civil society representatives, exploring diverse formats and a wide array of topics. From public polling and media impact to electoral demographics, the future of U.S. democracy, and pressing policy issues like trade and immigration, the “Road to Election” series aims to offer comprehensive insights for audiences in both the United States and Germany.
