The next event in our virtual event series “Road to Election 2024” will focus on the economic approaches of the two U.S. Presidential candidates. Economic performance has been the most important factor in the US presidential election in polls for months. The Biden administration is relying on Bidenomics via the Build Back Better infrastructure programme. The Republicans are building on Trump’s “America First” stance with nationalist tones and calls for an “anti-corporate elite policy” that breaks with the GOP legacy of a libertarian, unregulated market economy. The two approaches have more in common than both parties admit, also with regard to the hard line towards China.
Moderator Dr. Tobias Endler welcomes Julia Kastein, correspondent at ARD’s Washington studio, Julia Friedlander, Managing Director of AtlantikBrücke, and Dr. Roland Rohde, GTAI (Germany Trade and Invest) reporter in Washington, to discuss how much the economic situation is affecting the U.S. election campaign. The event is organised and hosted by the Road to Election partner organisation Deutsch-Amerikanisches Institut Tübingen. Further information and registration can be found 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.
