The Inauguration of a New President: Where Will American Politics Go From Here?
Tuesday 23 January 2025 | 18.30-19.30
British Library Foyle Room | Free
In his inauguration speech in January 2017 Donald Trump promised to ‘make America great again’ and stem the ‘American carnage’ he saw in US society. Coming just weeks after the January 6 insurrection at the US Capital, Joe Biden’s 2021 inauguration speech urged the American people to come together, even though he conceded that ‘speaking of unity can sound to some like a foolish fantasy these days.’ There will be a new President of the United States on 20 January 2025, following an election cycle marked by violence and division. Following the inauguration, we will reflect on the 2024 election cycle and the role of democracy in American political life. What will the new President mean for the future?
