MORE DETAILS: "On November 5, the Americans will elect their new president. Will Donald Trump return to the White House, despite the various lawsuits against him? Or will Kamala Harris become the first female president of America? In any case, the biggest political show on earth seems to be a neck-and-neck race with major interests at stake. For example, the choice for a Republican or a Democrat will determine the course of the country more than ever. Just think of the rights of women and minorities and the position of America in the world.    

 
Whatever the outcome, at Forum Groningen you are in the right place with our traditional Election Night on election day. Until late at night you can follow the elections in the most fun and interesting way. We keep you informed of the results, offer you a program about American culture and politics and update you on the important social themes that are taking place within the US.

Numerous researchers will be present to talk about,  among other things,  the  role of faith in American politics, the role of America as a military power  in the world and  Harris and Trump.
