The Working Class Voter in the Age of Trump: A Panel Discussion with Doug Sosnik, Kristen Soltis Anderson, & Patrick Ruffini

Join us the Institute of Politics and the Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government (MRCBG) for a timely and in-depth lunchtime panel discussion on the evolving political landscape and the role of working-class voters in the age of Trump. Featuring leading strategists and analysts Doug Sosnik, Senior Advisor, Brunswick Group; Kristen Soltis Anderson and Patrick Ruffini, Founding Partners at Echelon Insights, this conversation will explore the shifting coalitions, demographic changes, and messaging strategies reshaping American politics. 


Drawing on decades of experience across campaigns, polling, and policy, the panelists will offer insights into how both parties are competing for—and redefining—the working-class electorate. This discussion will provide a nuanced look at one of the most consequential forces driving today’s political realignment.
