President Biden's first year

Event Details
Join us online for a multi-panel conversation examining President Biden’s first year in office. The Miller Center’s The First Year: POTUS 2017 project analyzed past presidential first years and has been able to offer careful, historical reflection to provide context for contemporary governance challenges. Presidential first years are the time when an administration assembles its team, establishes its processes for governing, identifies its priorities, and also weathers a series of crises when the world tests a new commander in chief.

- Guian McKee, associate professor, Miller Center
- Kathryn Dunn Tenpas, nonresident senior fellow, The Brookings Institution; practitioner senior fellow, Miller Center

PANEL TWO: Foreign policy and national security (4:00–5:00 p.m)
