America's New President
Chris Lu with Bill Antholis and David Leblang of the Miller Center at UVA
Join Chris Lu, Bill Antholis and David Leblang from the Miller Center, a nonpartisan affiliate of the University of Virginia that specializes in presidential scholarship, public policy, and political history, to discuss America’s new president.
Having overseen President Obama’s transition back in 2008-2009, Chris is uniquely well positioned to comment on the early days of the Trump administration. He will draw on insights from the Miller Center’s First Year Project , an ambitious effort devoted to a new president’s make-or-break first year, focusing on the key issues an untested commander in chief must confront.
Chris is a senior fellow in presidential studies at the Miller Centre. From 2014 to 2017, he served in the Obama administration as the deputy secretary of labor while from 2009 to 2013, he was the White House cabinet secretary and assistant to the president, serving as President Obama’s primary liaison to the federal departments and agencies.
