Join us! Besides my excellent @BrookingsGov colleagues, we have two great journalists who know what’s happening on the ground in Iowa and New Hampshire, @DavidYepsen (who covered Iowa politics for the @DMRegister over 34 years) & @vgmac, the @BostonGlobe’s political editor.
We are one month away from the first contest in the 2024 presidential primaries!
Join us tomorrow at 2PM EST for a webinar to discuss front-runners, key issues, and what these contests tell us about the race ahead. #PresidentialPrimaries
