The Breakdown with Erica Chenoweth and Steve Levitsky (Sixth Session)

In this sixth episode of The Breakdown, Erica Chenoweth and Steven Levitsky use Hungary’s surprise electoral ouster of Viktor Orbán as a springboard to discuss how opposition forces can still win unfair elections, the challenges of governing and consolidating democracy afterward, and recent U.S. backsliding moves such as the SPLC indictment and Voting Rights Act rollback
