US democracy is resilient despite doubt and conflict, says professor

A video shows that on a Texas highway over the weekend, a caravan of Trump supporters in pickup trucks intimidated members of the Biden-Harris campaign. The FBI is investigating the incident.

Harvard University professor and political theorists Danielle Allen says, “Every election is hard because there are always winners and losers. And the real challenge is that democracy has to be a place where winners can be decent to losers, and losers can recognize that the conversation continues.”

She says American democracy is a resilient institution, and it’ll need its constituents to work towards a better future.
