What's Happening in Washington, D.C.? A Look at the First 100 Days of the Trump Presidency
History may judge the first 100 days of the Trump presidency as the most consequential since FDR. At a time in which we are seeing seismic changes in American politics, three leading experts, covering all points of view, will provide insights and analysis on this important moment in our nation's history. In a panel discussion led by Steve Scully, host of "The Briefing" on SiriusXM and JES Global Summit Chairman, these experts will assess the politics and policies that have shaped the early months of the 47th president and offer their insights on what may be yet to come over the next four years.
Jay Cost is the Gerald R. Ford Nonresident Senior Fellow at the American Enterprise Institute (AEI), columnist for National Review, and contributor to the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. He is the author of several books, including "A Republic No More: Big Government and the Rise of American Political Corruption."
Amie Parnes is a Senior Political Correspondent at The Hill, and is the co-author of a newly released book, "Fight: Inside the Wildest Battle for The White House."
Molly Reynolds is a Senior Fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution, a leading expert on Congress and the author of "Exceptions to the Rule: The Politics of Filibuster Limitations in The U.S. Senate."
A book sale and signing will follow the discussion.
