From the first presidential debate issues to the late entry of a major party candidate and the reality of political violence, the 2024 presidential election season has been significant. To explore these developments, Northwestern Pritzker School of Law is hosting its annual panel titled "The Knox Conversations: America, 2024, and a Political Reckoning?" on Thursday, Oct. 17 at Thorne Auditorium in Chicago.
The event will feature prominent political thinkers and practitioners who will examine the 2024 presidential campaign beyond just a race but within the broader context of current events. Knox Conversations aim to foster open exchange, public debate, and respectful discourse on important matters to the legal community. The program will be available both in-person and virtually.
Panelists include Paul Begala, a political commentator for CNN; Jason DeSanto, senior lecturer at Northwestern Pritzker Law; and Michael Steele, former Lt. Governor of Maryland and former chairman of the Republican National Committee.
The event is free for media with required registration for attendance either in-person or virtually.
