This November marks one year since our country elected Donald Trump as President of the United States. Following one of the most polarizing elections of our time, have we, as Americans, redefined the way we view our political parties –and our political identities? Has President Trump kept true to his campaign promises of “draining the swamp,” reforming our nation’s tax code, and fixing our broken healthcare system? Join us as we reflect upon the last 12 months and the impact the first year of this presidency has had on both public policy and our political system as a whole.  

Prominent political commentator and editor at large of the Weekly Standard Bill Kristol is well versed in interpreting polling data, analyzing political campaigns, and commenting on the evolution of our political parties, especially post 2016 election. At our upcoming salon dinner this November, he’ll provide his candid opinion on what’s going on in the oval office and share his perspective on the trajectory of our nation.
