The Presidential Election of 2020: Donald Trump and the Crisis of
Democracy places the election of 2020 within the context of the
Trump presidency, a chaotic and tense time in American politics and
a dangerous one. The election is analyzed in depth and its meaning
for the state of American society is made clear. A major theme in
the book is a critique of Donald Trump's leadership, his
incompetence in office, his appeal to followers and the danger this
has proven to represent. Among other things, he was accused of
mental instability during his presidency. Yet he received the
second highest vote total in American history, exceeded only by
winning candidate Joe Biden's. Trump was impeached twice for his
actions in office but both times not held responsible for what he
had done by a Republican-controlled Senate. The election is placed
in an on-going context. It was followed by strenuous attempts by
Trump and associates to have states reverse their results and
declare him the winner and by the Trump-organized seditious assault
on the Capitol in which five people died. The objective was to
force Vice President Mike Pence, who was chairing a Joint Session
of Congress, normally a formality, to instead reject the Electoral
College vote outcome. Pence would not do it. His life and that of
Speaker Nancy Pelosi were threatened by the rioters. The threat of
a coup, a new development in American politics, and one led by
Trump and others who share his views, remains. Meanwhile President
Joe Biden in his efforts to reconstruct America has introduced the
most ambitious policy agenda since the New Deal.
