On June 30, 2020, the Netherlands Atlantic Association organized an online program with American political expert Matt Mayer, themed:
The U.S. Presidential Election 2020
The United States currently faces major political and social challenges. Furthermore, polarization seems to be a larger issue than ever before. Questions which will be addressed during the program are, among others: will President Trump be able to motivate a non-traditional ‘rank-and-file’ (Afro-Americans, (sub-) urban youngsters etc.) to cast their votes for him? What impact will the current debate on racism have on the election results? What will the impact be of the COVID-19 crisis on the election results? Apart from the public health issues the economy is currently in a deep crisis as well. Will it recover quickly enough for President Trump to pull off a victory?
Speakers
Matt A. Mayer is the President of the think tank ‘Opportunity Ohio’ and a regular radio and television commentator in the United States on national and international current affairs.
