Professor William Howell Discusses the State of the Union

Harris Public Policy Professor William Howell was featured in The Hill with an Op-Ed that discusses how Donald Trump chose to be traditional in his 2019 State of the Union address.

"By embracing the symbolism and ritual of this highly conventional occasion, Trump runs afoul of the very assets that got him to office — disdain for career politicians and so-called experts, contempt for Congress, and an abiding distrust of Washington politics," Howell wrote. "It's not clear that he can continue to assume both personas: Trump the champion of the people and Trump the occasional statesman."
