The 2024 Elections: What Happened and What’s Next? | DealBook Summit 2024

The 2024 presidential election isn’t over.
While the vote count is official and President-elect Donald J. Trump will be the next occupant of the Oval Office, just about everything else, including how much of a mandate he has, why the Democrats lost and what the future of the two political parties - and the country - will look like, is still the subject of fierce debate.
That came through strongly during a discussion on Dec. 4 at the DealBook Summit in New York City about the election and its aftermath. The 10-member election task force, one of four held away from the main stage, included those involved in politics, the media and advocacy.
