Scott will continue our discussion and evaluation of the strength and fragility of democracy and the rule of law in 2025 as the new and former president transitions into office and seeks to implement the campaign agenda and promises that seem to have the approval of a majority of our fellow citizens who voted. With Republican majorities in both the House and Senate, the continuing conservative Supreme Court, and the appointment and influence of powerful private sector leaders and donors, will the Center hold? Will traditional norms, values, and principles that heretofore deemed fundamental to our democracy prevail?
