Marc Elias on Trump’s Authoritarian Second Term

from The Al Franken Podcast · host The Al Franken Podcast

One of Donald Trump's priorities when he returned to the White House was to target law firms that he felt had wronged him. While some immediately caved to his demands, others fought back... and won. We're joined by Marc Elias, preeminent election lawyer and founder of Democracy Docket, to discuss Trump using his second term to settle personal scores, abuse his power, and put a strain on the judicial system in America.Marc and Al discuss the growing authoritarianism and how the recent Supreme Court decisions won't slow it down. But with the unpopularity of Trump's disgusting immigration policy to his handling of the economy to The Big Beautiful Bill, we look with hope towards the midterms.Check out Democracy Docket for the most important news on voting rights and election litigation:https://www.democracydocket.comLearn about my work with Midwest Values PAC: https://www.midwestvaluespac.org/
