Democracy in the United States is increasingly under threat. The corrosive role of money in politics, rising partisan polarization, hostile rhetoric, and escalating political violence — including two attempts to assassinate Donald Trump — have led many to express concern about the health of U.S. democracy. This roundtable convenes scholars in a conversation about the U.S. elections. Reflecting diverse disciplinary and comparative scholarly perspectives, our panelists articulate what we know about the U.S. elections, threats from polarization and violence, and what it means for the future of democracy.
