U.S. Domestic Policy Under the Next Democratic or Republican Administration.” The lecture will focus on each candidate’s domestic agenda, featuring 毗努伊勒约瑟夫 of the University of Texas-Austin making the case for an incoming Democratic administration and 斯蒂芬·摩尔 of the Heritage Foundation outlining Republican programs and policies. This discussion will serve as the content for the 超越第三轨 experience.
