U.S. Presidential Election: The Final Stretch

September 24, 2024
12:30 p.m.–2:00 p.m. ET
VIRTUAL AND IN-PERSON

Organized by the Political and Geostrategic Observatory of the United States at the French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs (IRIS), in collaboration with The Academy of Political Science and the Raoul Dandurand Chair at the University of Quebec in Montreal, this event explored the final stretch of the 2024 presidential election.

The election’s outcome could reshape America’s global role and its relationships with allies. Could it also challenge the balance between democracy and rising concerns over authoritarianism? From economic recovery and healthcare under Kamala Harris to Donald Trump’s promise of nationalism and stricter immigration policies, which future will Americans choose?
