Last week BPC kicked off our Presidential Leadership Initiative with a bipartisan discussion at Decatur House, featuring White House insiders from the current and past four administrations. Held in partnership with the White House Correspondents’ Association and streamed live on C-SPAN.org, the event featured conversations about governing through turbulent times and insights into how each administration governed with:
- Joshua Bolten, Chief of Staff to President G.W. Bush;
- Jay Carney, Press Secretary to President Obama;
- Kellyanne Conway, Senior Advisor to President Trump;
- Thomas ‘Mack’ McLarty, Chief of Staff and Senior Counselor to President Clinton;
- Jen Psaki, Press Secretary to President Biden; and
- Cedric Richmond, Senior Advisor to President Biden.

The Presidential Leadership Initiative will work with historians, policy experts, and leaders from prior administrations to support the integrity, resiliency, and effectiveness of the U.S. presidency. Lead by BPC Senior Fellow Tevi Troy, the new effort will closely examine how the American presidency ties Americans together, leads through times of crisis, and the decision-making process inside the White House.
