WATCH: How to protect democracy 🇺🇸

I have been very clear on President Trump’s authoritarian playbook and the very real threats to our democracy here in America.

But recently, I visited Poland and Hungary, and I saw firsthand how they have quite literally taken the playbook to fight an authoritarian — a people’s playbook — and dusted it off to make it more relevant for the 20th century.

This gave me real sparks of hope and crystallized how I think about our challenges here at home because America is not a country that cowers.

We’re not at our end. We will get out of this. We will not give up the ship.
