A confluence of crises jarring America’s political, democratic, judicial and economic systems, often fueled by Donald Trump and far-right Republicans, threatens to severely test Joe Biden’s presidency amid rising doubts over his reelection bid.
As the 2024 White House race heats up, it’s becoming clear that extraordinary, historic challenges complicate Biden’s push for a second term, over and above the liabilities expressed in his low presidential approval ratings and the uneven economy. Even by the standards of recent years, in which democracy has wobbled and fierce political recrimination deepened, the country is heading into a political morass without parallel.
But Trump is also embroiled in a legal swamp that is causing extreme stress for the judicial system. Special counsel Jack Smith, for example, has asked for a partial gag order on the former president to stop his intimidation of witnesses in his federal election meddling trial, which is set for March. The request will force Judge Tanya Chutkan to wrestle with how much a presidential candidate’s free speech can be fettered because he is a criminal defendant.
