YOUTUBE (The Hill) - Hill Nation Summit Wed Jul 1 07:54:46 2026

The second annual Hill Nation Summit returns to Washington, D.C. this July 15, 2026. In the true bipartisan spirit of its host partners, The Hill and NewsNation, this is a Summit where both sides come to be reasonable, in a series of back-to-back news making conversations. This year's agenda will focus on policy and economic issues driven by a midterm environment, expiring legislation, and technological disruption. Join us as we dig into the following questions and themes, and ask our powerful speakers just exactly how they plan to fix America. What are the candidates saying about the following policy issues? How soon can we get to economic certainty? Based on likely budget debates, the expiration of key tax/health provisions, and the ongoing influence of AI, here are five major policy themes Hill Nation will put into focus: The Fiscal Cliff & Tax Reform 2.0: A major theme will be preparing for the expiration of significant tax provisions set for 2026, forcing Congress to negotiate the entire U.S. tax code. Health Insurance & Affordability Renewal: The looming expiration of enhanced premium tax credits (ACA subsidies) in 2026 creates massive uncertainty in the health insurance markets and fuels the affordability debate. AI Governance, Labor & National Security: As AI technology matures and its economic impact becomes more visible, the focus shifts from novelty to practical governance and its effect on jobs and global competition. Energy Security and Permitting Acceleration: The need to balance climate goals with sustained energy independence requires a fundamental overhaul of the bureaucratic process for infrastructure and energy projects. Workforce & Job Quality Reform: Driven by the desire to increase productivity and address wage stagnation, policymakers will debate using incentives and mandates to improve the quality of jobs across the economy, including initiatives aimed at increasing portable benefits.
