Frenemies to Friends: Building a Lifelong Friendship Across Political Difference

Political disagreement is one of the most polarizing forces in our society today, permeating nearly every facet of our experience. When Professor Andy Adres (CGS) and New York Times columnist David French first met, they assumed their disagreements would prevent them from forming a close bond. Decades later, they are joining us to reflect on the trajectory of their friendship, and how they have become close friends despite their passionate disagreement about so many political issues.
