Last week, the Atlantic's Barton Gellman wrote that former president Donald Trump is getting closer to accomplishing his devastating goal of subverting America's election system — for real this time — in 2024. According to MSNBC columnist Michael A. Cohen, Gellman's "doomsday scenario" argument may be a popular theory among Democrats, but it has little substantiating evidence.
"Even before the unimaginable chaos of Jan. 6, such scenarios, bandied around frequently by Democrats, seemed far-fetched— largely because they were," he writes. Cohen argues that the threat to American Democracy is real; but Gellman and Democrats more broadly are focusing on the wrong things. And unless we tackle the real threats — assault on voting rights, politicization of the federal judiciary, gerrymandering, growing misinformation — he writes, "Trump won’t need to worry about stealing a presidential election. He’ll have an excellent chance of winning it outright."
