What Does the Future Hold for the Conservative Movement After the 2020 Election?

Explore This Pressing Question with Matthew Continetti and Oren Cass

No matter what happens on Election Day, conservatives will face major questions about the future of their movement.

That’s because Donald Trump—regardless of how you feel about him—has shaken up conservatism.

So what does the future hold for the conservative movement after this election? Will we see a major realignment? A return to old ways? A new direction?

Explore this pressing topic with two of the most astute observers of American conservatism, Matthew Continetti and Oren Cass, in the next episode of Conservative Conversations with ISI.

Continetti is resident fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where he specializes in the development of the American conservative movement. He is also a plugged-in journalist—the founder of the Washington Free Beacon and a frequent contributor to prominent publications like The Atlantic, the New York Times, the Wall Street Journal, and the Washington Post.

Cass is the executive director of American Compass, whose mission is to restore an economic consensus that emphasizes the importance of family, community, and industry to the nation’s liberty and prosperity. Prior to founding American Compass, Oren was a senior fellow at the Manhattan Institute for Policy Research, the domestic policy director for Mitt Romney’s 2012 presidential campaign. 

Both have studied the history of conservatism as well as its current debates. And on Wednesday, November 4—the day after the election—they will share their thoughts and predictions about what’s in store in this live discussion.

So bring your questions. Continetti and Cass will answer them on Wednesday, November 4, at 7 p.m. ET.
