Details

As both major American political parties grapple with internal divisions, understanding their competing factions is important to making sense of today’s political landscape. This discussion will examine the establishment vs populist vs other wings within the Republican and Democratic parties, exploring how differences in ideology, strategy, and power shape policy priorities, leadership battles, and electoral outcomes. This event will be hosted by Adam Smith Social Chair, Sara Carr.
