Presidential Centers Rally to Safeguard Democracy

A coalition of presidential centers and foundations representing nearly every former president from Herbert Hoover to Barack Obama has issued a joint statement calling for the protection of American democracy and the maintenance of civility in politics. The statement, which is seen as a subtle rebuke of former President Donald Trump, emphasizes the importance of elected officials leading by example, engaging in civil dialogue, upholding democratic institutions and rights, and ensuring safe and accessible elections. The coalition aims to remind Americans of the foundations of their nation and the need for bipartisan commitment to democracy.
