The Spin

Anti-Trump narrative

As Biden's tour de force of a speech on Friday rightly highlighted, Trump has already demonstrated he's willing to sacrifice American democracy for his own malevolent aims. This is a momentous moment for the country, and in order to protect American democracy, Trump cannot be allowed to be the country's president again.

Pro-Trump narrative

Keeping Trump off the 2024 ballot would be a monumental mistake. He's the overwhelming favorite to be the Republican candidate, and Democrats' efforts to keep him off the ballot would only see voters lose their right to choose. Going through with this would disenfranchise half the country and set off a dangerous precedent that would be the true threat to American democracy.
