Join us for an engaging discussion with author Heath-Brown and political commentator Eleanor Clift as they delve into the challenges and complexities of the Biden-Harris transition to the White House. In his new book "Roadblocked," Brown offers a revealing look at the seventy days between the 2020 election and inauguration, shedding light on how the transition team navigated the unprecedented circumstances they faced, including a global pandemic, a sitting president's refusal to accept the election results, and a historic racial reckoning. Drawing from over 125 exclusive interviews with members of the transition team and other key stakeholders, Brown takes readers behind the scenes, providing a gripping account of the inner workings of the Biden-Harris transition. Attendees will have the opportunity to gain insights into the organizational structure of the transition team, the challenges they faced in promoting coordination and avoiding siloing, and the ultimate impact of the pandemic and steep hierarchies on their efforts. Moreover, "Roadblocked" offers a comparative analysis of the last four presidential transitions, allowing readers to contextualize the Biden-Harris experience within a broader historical framework. As Brown argues, despite substantial changes in the Democratic coalition, newly influential groups armed with novel tactics, and great shifts in their political agenda, the transition did not lead to the anticipated transformation.
