Biden's Democracy Summit Faces Uphill Battle.

President Biden's Summit for Democracy is unlikely to save democracy or his presidency, as democracy continues to decline globally, with twice as many nations veering towards authoritarianism as towards democracy. Despite Biden's promises, even US government officials fear the summit will be an "inconsequential talk shop." The American Bar Association recently warned that the rule of law is in decline globally, but it's "not a central focus of the U.S. Government's approach" on democracy. Biden's endless edicts set a terrible example for other democratic leaders, and his administration's crackdowns on "inaccurate" information and foreign journalists raise concerns about censorship and propaganda.
