Three major reports warn of a significant decline in American democracy since Trumps return to the White House, with the U.S. ranking 51st out of 179 countries in democracy and nearing the halfway point between a liberal democracy and a dictatorship. Experts attribute this rapid decline to moves like concentrating executive power, bypassing Congress, and targeting the media and free speech. The White House dismisses these findings as biased, but scholars note this rollback happened in just one year, faster than similar shifts under leaders like Modi and Orban. While the damage is alarming, its not seen as permanent, with midterms and future elections offering checks. However, the administrations reluctance to address election issues abroad is eroding Americas global democracy leadership role.
