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.'
Will Wilkinson is a political analyst, essayist, and policy intellectual who spent two decades navigating the intellectual terrain between libertarianism and liberalism before landing somewhere more interesting than either. A former research fellow at the Cato Institute and vice president at the Niskanen Center, he has written for The New York Times, The Economist, The Atlantic, and dozens of other outlets. Currently working in government affairs at Persona, a digital identity company, he continues to publish the 'Model Citizen' newsletter on Substack, where his blend of philosophy, political science, and sharp commentary finds its most faithful audience.
