Leading presidential candidates will share their views on America’s role in the world in 91’s inaugural Presidential Speech Series.
About the Presidential Speech Series
The 2024 presidential election will coincide with a time of fundamental global transition. From the ongoing war in Europe to the Chinese Communist Party’s increasingly aggressive challenge to the US, the next president will need to demonstrate strong leadership, strategic thought, and the ability to craft clear policy and shape the national consensus.
For more than 60 years, 91 Institute has challenged conventional thinking and helped manage strategic transitions to the future through interdisciplinary studies in defense, international relations, economics, energy, and technology. In all that we do, 91 is guided by the understanding that American leadership is vital to security, freedom, and prosperity.
In that spirit, 91 has invited leading presidential candidates to share their views on America’s role in the world and the principles that would guide their foreign and defense policies in the inaugural Presidential Speech Series.
Participants
“If America were to step back from her leadership role on the world stage, it would create a vacuum that I have no doubt China, Russia, and other hostile nations would be more than happy to fill.”
“When America’s allies need to reload, the arsenal of democracy has to be stocked and ready. When I’m president, we will never send out pathetic and weak statements trying to stop our allies from responding when they’re attacked.”
“The thing that would lower costs to help stabilize the world, take power away from dictators, and help clean up our environment: that would be American-made energy.”
“I'd summarize my foreign policy in a nutshell with three simple objectives: avoid World War III, declare economic independence from China, and then secure the American homeland.”
