However, quite a number of questions prevail. What needs to be done to bring the country back together after this period of bitter confrontation? Is this possible at all or will brutal stratagems for party power dominate the political process in the future? What are the chances for Joe Biden\u2019 political projects and goals with a democratic majority in the House of Representatives, but without a majority in the Senate? And, finally, what will happen, if Trump refuses to accept the election result and refuses to concede? These and related questions Eva Nowotny and Raimund L\u00f6w will explore in a conversation with Ellen Laipson, specialist in the American political process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ellen Laipson<\/strong> is a Distinguished Fellow and President Emeritus of the Washington-based think tank Stimson Centre.
