The State of Democracy, Three Years Since January 6

The Brian Lehrer Show | Jan 5, 2024

Saturday marks three years since Trump supporters stormed the Capitol in an attempt to prevent the peaceful transfer of power. Wendy Weiser, vice president for democracy at the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU School of Law, and Joseph Nunn, counsel in the Brennan Center’s Liberty and National Security Program, talk about the state of election denialism as the 2024 election nears, and explain how Donald Trump might use the Insurrection Act if he is reelected to tamp down protests or dissent against him.
