Please join a panel of two distinguished journalists and a GW political scientist with expertise in both European and American politics for a comparative post mortem of this year's elections. This event is hosted by the GW Illiberalism Studies Program and the Institute for European, Russian and Eurasian Studies for a panel of two distinguished journalists.

On both sides of the Atlantic, partisan polarization increased, as populist and anti-immigrant issues and fallout of the Ukraine war dominated the 2024 campaigns. The speakers will analyze the commonalities and differences of the election results and in their wake, the likely course of policy and democracy. A complimentary lunch will be provided.

Speakers:

• William Drozdiak, Global Fellow at the Wilson Center's Global Europe Program
• Idrees Kahloon, Washington bureau chief for The Economist 
• Kimberly Morgan, GW Professor of Political Science and Director of the European and Eurasian Studies Program
