CANCELLED – Steve Cortes, Marc Lasry & Anthony Scaramucci: Presidential Debate
Description
At no time has the maxim “elections have consequences” held more weight than since the last national election in 2016 when voters in swing states chose Donald Trump over Hillary Clinton.
The stakes for both parties—and the country as a whole—are now even higher. Consider the macro picture: The economy is in a recession due to the coronavirus despite some jobs coming back over the last three months. There are over 210,000 Americans dead from the virus, and a vaccine could be months away with a long winter ahead. The rule of law is front and center with Trump’s less than traditional approach on American institutions. In addition, the future of the Supreme Court is at stake for both parties.
Trump inherited a growing economy and low unemployment from Obama; and, fueled by tax cuts and deregulation, the economy and the stock market grew faster.
The November election will be a referendum on Donald Trump. Voters will not only judge him on his record; but they will also take into account what many people feel: the daily chaos, the relentless machinations and the level of decency he brings to the highest office in the land.
The HBS Club of NY is pleased to present a stirring debate featuring representatives from both sides as we discuss a range of issues. Please join us for this informative session.
