On Monday, September 9 at 11:30 a.m. ET the Atlantic Council will host an #ACFrontPage conversation featuring United States Senator Christopher Murphy (D-CT) to discuss the most pressing international issues facing the country and how the next US president—as well as the next Congress—might respond to a demanding geopolitical agenda. This special edition of Atlantic Council Front Page is part of the Atlantic Council’s election-year event series, “Elections 2024: America’s Role in the World,” and supported by RBC Capital Markets, LLC. 

Since World War II, the United States has played a leading role in upholding a rules-based international system. Now the United States confronts major challenges across the globe—from competition with an increasingly aggressive China and revisionist Russia, to worldwide economic turbulence and uncertainty around energy sources and supplies. It is vital that the next US president have a clear, long-term strategy for US security and prosperity. 

Ahead of the 2024 US elections, Murphy will join the Atlantic Council to discuss his expectations for a potential Kamala Harris presidency, as well as how he believes the United States should conceptualize its role in the world, position itself to counter authoritarian competitors and adversaries, and build a stable and prosperous global economy. 

This edition of #ACFrontPage, hosted by the Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security, will take place in person at the Atlantic Council studios in Washington, DC. In-person attendance is limited and will be granted on a first-come, first-served basis through registration. The event will also be livestreamed on Atlantic Council TV, YouTube, Facebook, and X. To register for this event, please complete the registration form.
