Meet The Press
President Obama hit the trail this week trying to re-energize young voters. Meanwhile, as Mitt Romney emerges as the presumptive nominee, how does he pivot to the general election after a bruising primary? Sunday, we’ll hear from senior strategists with both campaigns: Robert Gibbs and Ed Gillespie

The race for the White House is on as the Republican party begins to coalesce around Mitt Romney. Talk of the economy, foreign policy, immigration, and potential VP picks dominate the discussion. What will Romney’s VP choice say about his campaign? Plus, after her comments about Ann Romney caused a firestorm in recent weeks, Democratic strategist Hilary Rosen is back to weigh in on the campaign. Also joining us: Vice Chair of the House Republican Conference Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (R-WA), MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow and Republican strategist Alex Castellanos.

ABC This Week
White House Counterterrorism Adviser John Brennan
Nearly one year after the killing of Osama bin Laden, White House counterterrorism adviser John Brennan comes to "This Week with George Stephanopoulos."

As the general election campaign moves into high gear, has the Obama campaign politicized the killing of bin Laden? What tactics at home and abroad are needed to combat ongoing terrorist threats? And with Al Qaeda weakened, what represents the greatest overseas challenge to the United States? George Stephanopoulos asks John Brennan, Sunday on "This Week."

Plus, our special "This Week" panel, in partnership with the University of Virginia's Miller Center, tackles the critical topic, "America's Economic Recovery: Is It Built to Last?"

After the deepest and longest recession since the Great Depression, what are the best ways to boost the economic recovery? Are the right steps being taken to spur growth and bring unemployment down to pre-recession levels? And what should be done about the country's exploding debt and future entitlement spending?

Held before a live studio audience at the Newseum in Washington, D.C., Sunday's edition of "This Week" moderated by George Stephanopoulos will bring together panelists from business, government, and journalism to discuss the state of the economy and the challenges of the current recovery.
