"American Democracy Braces for Future Hurdles After Passing Recent Stress Tests"

American democracy has shown resilience in the face of challenges since the 2020 election, with the constitutional system blocking former President Donald Trump's attempts to overturn the election results. Despite concerns, the 2022 midterms went smoothly, and voters rejected candidates who supported election falsehoods. However, Trump's 2024 campaign raises new concerns, as he continues to promote baseless claims of a stolen election and hints at authoritarian governance. Recent legislative changes and election outcomes in key states have made it more difficult for any attempt to overturn a future election loss, but the upcoming 2024 election remains a significant test for the strength of American democratic institutions.
