HOW TO CHALLENGE DONALD TRUMP. Democratic Strategies and
the Global Dimension of U.S. Politics
In a moment of profound political polarization in the United
States, questions about how to effectively challenge Donald
Trump, and Trumpism more broadly, remain central to the strategic
debates within the Democratic Party. This panel brings together
leading voices from journalism and politics to examine the range
of approaches currently under discussion, from electoral strategy
and coalition-building to messaging and institutional reform.
Beyond domestic political dynamics, the discussion also sheds
light on the often underexamined role of foreign policy in
shaping electoral narratives and voter perceptions. In an
increasingly interconnected world, U.S. domestic politics cannot
be disentangled from global developments, as international
conflicts, economic interdependence, and shifting geopolitical
alignments feed directly into national debates. At the same time,
perceptions of the United States abroad and thus the expectations
of allies and rivals may subtly influence how political
strategies are formulated at home. This brings up questions of
how international crises, alliances, and global leadership factor
into the Democratic Party’s positioning and whether foreign
policy can serve as a point of confronting Trump.
Bringing together transatlantic perspectives, this panel offers a
timely and nuanced analysis of the political, institutional, and
global stakes surrounding the future of American democracy.
