The first event of the Rothermere American Institute’s America Decides series, “Who’s Winning?”, takes place tonight 5-6pm. The series will bring together journalists, political scientists, historians, pollsters, and diplomats to distil the critical issues at stake and provide a credible and reasoned discussion.

For this first panel in our election series, the RAI is delighted to welcome David Wasserman, House Editor for the Cook Political Report; Samara Klar, Associate Professor in Politics from the University of Arizona; and legendary New York Times journalist Thomas Edsall. The event will be chaired and moderated by RAI Director, Professor Adam Smith. You can register for the event on Eventbrite.

The series is being convened by Dr Mitch Robertson (2016, DPhil History). Professor Adam Smith, Professorial Fellow at Univ, is the Edward Orsborn Professor of US Politics & Political History and the Director of the Rothermere American Institute.

Further events include Race and the 2020 US Election and The US Election: A Postgraduate and ECR Perspective. There will also be two panel discussions after the election, dissecting what happened and what it means for the US, UK and the world. The full outlines are available on the Rothermere Institute website.
