Background:

The turbulence that followed the 2020 presidential election shook our country to its core. That the United States continues to stand has been extolled by some as a sign of strength, though others have interpreted the tumult as a harbinger for the end of our democracy. Regardless of one's perspective, what stands true is that our domestic discourse is of consequence to the world. Join us as we explore the impact that the health of American democracy has at home and abroad.
