WHAT JUST HAPPENED?

Badger Forum November 21

Election Day is Tuesday, November 5. The presidential election has been a virtual dead heat since Kamala Harris become the Democrat nominee. The Columbia Basin Badger Club is pleased to feature the return of political observer Peter Wehner for the third time since 2026. A native of Richland, he will join us from his home in Virginia for a Badger Forum to help sort through the aftermath of this election. He will offer his opinions on what happened and what we may see ahead and take questions from forum participants.

Wehner, 63, is a lifelong Republican and a respected former speechwriter in three Republican administrations (Reagan and both Bushes) and opinion writer for the New York Times and The Atlantic. He’s also a longtime critic of former president Trump, whom he has called an “institutional arsonist.” And it’s not just the presidency, the majorities in both chambers of Congress are razor thin, not unlike the current campaigns for election in the states.
