We're an increasing threat to our democracy because the president, the White House, and the Congress have not tried to mobilize the forces of the U.S. government and state and local governments to stop this obvious threat to our new election.
David Gergen warns about the lack of action from government leaders to address threats to democracy ahead of upcoming elections.

For Donald Trump to go for a 24-plus hours without a word being said is an outrage in and of itself. This is a man who is seeking the nomination of a major political party, very likely to get it. And now look at the leadership he is…
I don't think Trump is out of the woods, even though his poll numbers are not only staying up, they have actually been strengthened some.
If he comes out and throws cold water on this, then I don't think it goes anywhere.
The midterms really helped him. They transformed the race, best midterm elections for any president in 20 years.
