Henry Olsen is a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a Washington Post opinion columnist, and one of the most accurate election forecasters of the past two decades. He called the 2024 presidential race for Donald Trump, including a popular-vote win, while most analysts hedged. A lawyer by training and a Reagan scholar by obsession, Olsen studies the working-class voters that conventional polling tends to miss, and he hosts the weekly podcast 'Beyond the Polls.'
Mona Charen is a syndicated political columnist, author, and podcast host who has spent four decades at the center of American conservative commentary.

Senior Fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center and host of The Mona Charen Show on The Bulwark, she is one of the few conservative commentators who has maintained intellectual consistency through decades of partisan turbulence.
