Beyond the Ballot: A Conversation With Dan Quayle

Описание: Nov. 12, 2024

In the aftermath of the pivotal 2024 U.S. presidential election, the nation faces a defining moment that will significantly influence its political trajectory. While reflecting the deep divisions within the electorate, the outcome will also raise critical questions about the future of governance, party dynamics, and national unity. As the U.S. navigates this pivotal moment, informed analysis and discussion are essential.

To provide such insight, we were honored to host former Vice President Dan Quayle as well as Andrew Card, former secretary of transportation and White House chief of staff, for a thought-provoking armchair discussion. Together, they analyzed the high-stakes campaigns, explored the critical challenges awaiting the incoming administration, and reflected on the deep-seated political dysfunction plaguing American politics.
