American Power Extra: How Trust in Elections Gets Broken

Donald Trump says election security is one of his top priorities, but do his actions match his rhetoric?

In this American Power Extra, Chad Scott examines how U.S. election security evolved after Russian interference in 2016 and traces the bipartisan efforts by the Obama, first Trump, and Biden administrations to strengthen protections against cyberattacks, foreign influence, and threats to election workers. He then explores why many of those same institutions are now being dismantled and what that could mean for the 2026 midterms and beyond.
