Event Description
WHEN: December 11, 2018
WHERE: The Spire (750 First Street NE (top floor), Washington DC)
Donald Trump has had a hurricane-like effect on the Republican Party. The 2018 midterm elections have forced center-right Americans to reconsider their relationship to the Trump-driven conservative populism that has come to dominate the GOP.
The Niskanen Center will present an important public analysis of this new political reality, featuring conversations with some of the nation’s leading thinkers and activists on the center-right. Panels will focus on political prospects for a new center-right, and the policy ideas and ideals that can revitalize the post-Trump Republican Party.
Registration will begin at 8:30 AM and lunch will be provided.To reserve your spot, RSVP to events@niskanencenter.org. Below is an agenda with a full list of speakers and panelists.
