Voters, not courts, to decide 2024 election

In a 9-0 decision, the Supreme Court found that Colorado did not
have the power to remove Donald Trump from the state’s primary
ballot. Though the justices had a difference of opinion on how
the ruling was decided, their overall agreement was that
individual states should not have the power to decide who would
be eligible to run for president. That may be the best-case
scenario for the 2024 election, according to panelist Mo
Elleithee. 


“For anyone on the left, anyone who’s worried about Trump, [this
election] has to be up to the voters. Trumpism has to be beat at
the ballot box,” says Elleithee. As Trump’s candidacy moves
forward, will the left shift its focus away from trying to beat
Trump in the courtroom?

Meanwhile, commitment to democracy across the globe remains
strong, says a poll from the Pew Research Center. But a closer
look reveals that satisfaction with the democratic process may be
taking a hit. What’s at the root of a growing desire for
stronger, singular leaders?

questions about the trustworthiness of our institutions. Is it
much ado about nothing, or a chance to deeply inspect our ideas
about bias?
