The Making of the MAGA New Right

Laura K. Field and Jerome Copulsky

Nov 03, 2025

Join us for a timely conversation with Laura Field and Jerome Copulsky on the intellectual network fueling Trumpism and reshaping American conservatism. Drawing from nearly a decade inside conservative academic circles, Field traces the rise of the New Right—an influential movement of academics, public figures, and cultural warriors whose vision combines nationalist economics, reactionary social values, and an illiberal quest for power. From the halls of think tanks to the vice presidency, the New Right has gained extraordinary traction, with profound consequences for American democracy. Together, Field and Copulsky will unpack the movement’s origins, strategies, and ambitions, and what its ascent means for the future of pluralism and freedom in the United States.
