Fall Briefing 2026 with Byron York

We are excited to return to The Winery at Sovereign Estate this year for our 2026 Fall Briefing! The evening will start with hearty hors d'oeuvres paired with wine selected by the experts at Sovereign Estate. There will be ample table seating outdoors, on the patio, and around the winery. VIP ticket holders will enjoy a private wine reception before moving to the pavilion for the keynote. Following the program, stick around for dessert, coffee, and more wine.

Conventional wisdom says the party that holds the White House performs poorly in the midterm elections. But in the era of Trump, conventional wisdom doesn’t exist. American Experiment is proud to present the bona fide wisdom of Byron York as our Fall Briefing speaker. Byron York is the chief political correspondent for the Washington Examiner where he has covered the Bush, Obama and Trump administrations, as well as Congress and each presidential campaign since 2000. You know him as a frequent contributor to Fox News. York will give us a timely update on the national race to control the U.S. House and Senate, and how Minnesota fits into the electoral map. Will President Trump beat the odds and grow his power in Congress or will Democrats take over and throw Washington into gridlock? Join us for a fascinating presentation from one of the top political analysts in the country!

We expect this event to sell out. Seats are assigned in order of purchase date, so get your tickets soon!
