Abstract

On November 6th, 2024, Donald Trump was re-elected for a second term as President of the United States. Ahead of the LSE Phelan US Centre event, “The 2024 US election: turning point for America?”, Mukulika Banerjee writes on the election results with a view outside of the Euro-American world. She writes that like the democracy it has exported and imposed on the world, Trump’s election win shows how the US itself is at risk of becoming a ‘checklist’ democracy, one which is reduced to institutions alone with no active citizenship and cultivation of democratic values.
