Emerging Resistance to Potential Second Trump Presidency

A broad coalition of Democratic officials, progressive activists, watchdog organizations, and former Republicans is mobilizing to counter a potential second term for Donald Trump. Viewing his policies as a significant threat to democracy, they are laying extensive groundwork to oppose his agenda if he wins the November election.

This proactive and large-scale effort is unprecedented. Some groups are preparing lawsuits to challenge any mass deportations Trump may attempt. The ACLU has recruited a new auditor to defend against possible IRS targeting. Additionally, at least five Democratic-led states are stockpiling abortion medications in anticipation of restrictive measures.
