Ian Bremmer: A ‘Significant’ GOP ‘Win’ in 2022 ‘Means that 2024 Is Going To Be Seen as Illegitimate and Potentially a Constitutional Crisis’

EXCERPT:

BREMMER: "Well, maybe the least of the surprises. This is the most important midterm election in American history. We have January 6 coming up in just a day. And as you know, since the profoundly challenged elections of 2020, no lessons have been learned at all in the United States. The country is much more divided. And a large number of Americans, some 64 percent in an NPR poll yesterday, said they thought the United States' democracy was in crisis, unlike countries like Japan and Germany and Canada in the last few months have had very successful elections, the United States has an election process that is increasingly broken, increasingly delegitimized. And the midterm elections, especially if you have a significant win for a Trump-led Republican Party means that 2024 is going to be seen as illegitimate and potentially a constitutional crisis. In the world's most powerful country, it's  hard not to rank that high on your list."
