Where: AEI, Auditorium 1789 Massachusetts Avenue NW Washington, DC 20036 and online.
The soon-to-conclude 118th Congress has been historically unproductive. In some ways, though, it was one for the history books, featuring fights over the House speakership, procedural turmoil unseen in decades, and the first impeachment of a cabinet secretary in more than a century.
Join AEI Senior Fellows Philip Wallach and Kevin R. Kosar, Wake Up to Politics’ Gabe Fleisher, the Government Affairs Institute’s Joshua C. Huder, and Politico’s Katherine Tully-McManus as they consider the many distinctive features of the 118th Congress and prospects for the new Congress.
