In just his first day in office, President Donald Trump signed a number of executive orders that threaten American democracy and are already being challenged in the courts. With the system of checks and balances in question and a Democratic Party still trying to get back on its feet, in what state is American democracy left? On what is perhaps the most difficult episode of the series on how to not lose hope under Trump 2.0, host Catarina Vila Nova is joined by Greta Bedekovics. Bedekovics is the Associate Director of Democracy Policy at the Center for American Progress, an independent, nonpartisan policy institute based in Washington. Before joining American Progress, Bedekovics worked on the US Senate as a policy advisor on voting rights and election security.
