While Donald Trump’s plans for destroying American democracy must be highlighted constantly ahead of the 2024 election, the center and the left need to acknowledge why so many people still support such a candidate. For the Democrats, that means reconnecting with working-class voters and supporting their long-neglected interests.
BOSTON – These are unique and troubling times for the United States. A twice-impeached former president who now faces four separate indictments for serious crimes is the de facto leader of one of the two main political parties. Having remade the Republican Party in his image, Donald Trump will almost certainly be its nominee in the 2024 presidential election, despite mounting evidence of his financial misdeeds and role in an attempted coup. While Democrats fared well in various elections this month, polls show Trump leading US President Joe Biden in key battleground states. Clearly, something is rotten in the American Republic.
