The New York Office of the University of Cologne cordially invites you to the next Transatlantic Tandem Talk:

"What Does a Presidency Cost? Election Campaign Financing in the U.S. and Germany"

The amount of money spent on election campaigns in the United States has increased dramatically over time, sparking debate on the influence of money in politics and its impact on the democratic process. While less in focus during this year’s turbulent election season, the topic remains critical as campaign financing has substantial potential to influence voter behavior and shape the political landscape. How are presidential and congressional races generally funded and how are the current contenders for the White House financing their campaigns? Which consequences does the current legal framework around campaign financing in the U.S. have for transparency and fairness and how does it differ from the German model? To what extent does money determine election outcomes?
