About us
Who we are: The American Enterprise Institute is a public policy think tank dedicated to defending human dignity, expanding human potential, and building a freer and safer world. The work of our scholars and staff advances ideas rooted in our belief in democracy, free enterprise, American strength and global leadership, solidarity with those at the periphery of our society, and a pluralistic, entrepreneurial culture. How we do it: We are committed to making the intellectual, moral, and practical case for expanding freedom, increasing individual opportunity, and strengthening the free enterprise system in America and around the world. Our work explores ideas that further these goals, and AEI scholars take part in this pursuit with academic freedom. AEI operates independently of any political party and has no institutional positions. Our scholars’ conclusions are fueled by rigorous, data-driven research and broad-ranging evidence. Our work: Our scholars not only engage in research that focuses on today’s most critical challenges but also look ahead to ideas and issues that have yet to be widely recognized. AEI scholars pursue innovative, independent work across a wide array of subjects. From economics, education, health care, and poverty to foreign and defense studies, public opinion, politics, society, and culture, our experts drive the competition of ideas.

President Trump’s stunning return to power cements his status as a figure of historic consequence. We live in The Age of Trump. But Mr. Trump is nonetheless a lame duck, term-limited by the US Constitution. The battle for the future of the political right began on Wednesday morning. The first front in that fight will be several pressing policy decisions that will expose the biggest rift in the Republican Party and those that surround Trump: the divide between populists and traditional “supply side” conservatives. Traditional conservatives will win many of those battles. And over the longer term, other key elements of Trump’s populist message that seem doomed. Trump has always been a uniquely gifted messenger. But in part because of this, Trumpism is unlikely to outlast him. The fight for what comes next has already arrived.

In his postelection analysis, Teixeira documents the scale of this defeat and the failure of elite, activist-driven Democratic politics.
