Could the 14th Amendment Block Trump from the Presidency?
Legal analyst Kimberly Wehle on the 14th Amendment and whether it can be used to keep Donald Trump off the ballot.
President Trump holds a Bible in front of St. John's Church outside the White House grounds. Peaceful protestors were cleared so he could make the short walk.
The New Yorker’s Masha Gessen knows a lot about autocratic rule. While living in Moscow, Gessen had a front row seat to Vladimir Putin’s power grab – and documented his slide into authoritarian rule in articles and an award winning book.
By 2016, Gessen had returned to the U.S. and was startled to see a newly elected leader with similar tendencies.
In a new book, “Surviving Autocracy,” Gessen retraces the last three years through that lens – and finds plenty to worry about – but also hope for our democracy.
