With the 2016 campaign over and a controversial first month for the Trump presidency, the Republican Party is at a crossroads. The GOP controls all three branches of government, yet many Republican voters are still divided in their support of the new administration. Can the GOP reconcile the factions within the party? What do these tensions mean for the future of the Party? And, what are the implications for the 2018 elections? Here to explore these issues and more are: Jack Kingston, Former Republican Congressman and former Senior Advisor for Donald Trump campaign William Kristol, Editor at Large, The Weekly Standard. Vin Weber, Former Republican Congressman Moderating this discussion is IOP Visiting Fellow Robert Costa. This event is part of “America in the Trump Era,” the IOP’s look at the changes - cultural, policy, media and otherwise - coming under a Trump administration.
