Inside the Oval Office
Description
If you've ever wondered what it's like to be at the President's side while important decisions are being made, you won't want to miss this conversation!
Mike Donilon first started working for Joe Biden in 1981. From 2019 to 2025, Donilon was alongside Biden as the Chief Strategist in his 2020 and 2024 campaigns for President and then as his senior advisor in the White House. From long hours in the Oval Office to writing State of the Union speeches at Camp David to traveling the country and the world on Air Force One, Donilon will share his insights on the 2020 and 2024 campaigns, on America's path over the past four years through COVID and economic crisis and world crises, and on where the country stands at this critical juncture in our history.
