Elise Jordan, a political veteran who has worked in presidential politics and campaigns for several years, is a columnist for “Time” and a political analyst for NBC News and MSNBC. She was most recently a policy advisor and speechwriter to Senator Rand Paul\u2019s presidential campaign. During the Bush administration, Jordan worked in the White House Office of Presidential Speechwriting and at the State Department as speechwriter to Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. In 2007, she joined the National Security Council, where she worked on press and communications strategy for the administration\u2019s Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan policies. While at the White House, Elise also worked for extended periods at the U.S. Embassy in Baghdad and for the Commanding General\u2019s Strategic Advisory Group at the International Security Assistance Force (IS-AF) headquarters in Kabul, Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s one-time lecture at LLS will focus on America\u2019s foreign policy under President Donald J. Trump. During President Trump\u2019s campaign, he offered plenty of political theater when it came to foreign policy, but few specifics except in his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Other than his international business dealings, Trump entered the Oval Office with no experience in foreign relations and a disparate vision for America\u2019s engagement with the world that marks a major shift from what we\u2019ve seen since the end of World War II. America\u2019s democratic, economic and security alliances are on new footing in the Trump era. This lecture will discuss these alliances, as well as the significance of American commitments to liberty, democracy and free trade under President Trump.<\/p>\n

Jordan\u2019s writing on foreign policy and politics has been featured in publications such as “The Atlantic,” “Buzzfeed,” “Daily Beast,” “Marie Claire,” “National Review,” “Time” and the “Wall Street Journal.” She was born and raised in Holly Springs, Mississippi and is a graduate of Yale University.<\/p>\n
