The APPAM conference will take place just days before the momentous 2016 election on November 8, 2016. This roundtable brings together leading academics and think tank experts to forecast the 2016 election and discuss the implications of the election for control of Congress, the White House, and the direction of national policy. The 2016 election cycle has challenged conventional wisdom at every turn. How will the results of the 2016 presidential and congressional elections shape the prospects for democracy, governance, and the nation’s capacity to tackle challenges like wage stagnation, inequality, and climate change? How can policy analysts prepare for the new political landscape, and what new problems and opportunities are likely to present themselves following the end of the Obama era?
