With the U.S. presidential election just weeks away, all eyes are on American voters. Beyond the Washington punditry, what are the issues really driving Americans and influencing their decisions at the polls? Local experts, with their ears to the ground, are some of the best sources for understanding a community and the issues that animate it.

The German Marshall Fund, in partnership with the U.S. Mission to the European Union, is pleased to invite you to a virtual conversation with J. Charles Coughlin and Eleanor Neff Powell, who will share views from Arizona and Wisconsin and discuss the pulse of both the presidential race and other down-ballot contests in their states. To what extent have the pandemic and America’s race reckoning impacted perceptions and priorities? Or will the perennial kitchen-table issues—the economy, healthcare—prove to override the drama in Washington?
