This article discusses the challenges faced by reporters in covering the upcoming presidential election, particularly in a two-party system where one party is acting anti-democratically. It highlights instances where politicians, such as House Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Donald Trump, have made statements undermining democracy and the election process. The article also mentions the efforts of the Associated Press (AP) to provide accurate and transparent coverage of democracy and the threats posed by Trump and his supporters. The AP's democracy beat, led by Tom Verdin, focuses on fact-checking false claims and providing explanatory reporting on election processes. The AP also aims to combat misinformation and false claims by engaging with communities affected by these claims, such as Chinese migrants targeted by xenophobic rhetoric. Additionally, the AP explores the erosion of democracy in other countries to shed light on the potential dangers faced by the United States. [Extracted from the article]
