Few elections in American history have featured the divisive politics and caustic rhetoric that dominated the 2020 election for the American presidency. Throughout the year, Americans saw the incumbent president impeached, heard allegations that the election was rigged and, finally, witnessed an assault on the US Capitol by demonstrators angered by the outcome of the election. This book will examine these issues and explore how one of the country's most significant democratic institutions endured the challenges posed by the 2020 presidential campaign.
