Why it matters

The 'No Kings' movement reflects ongoing concerns about the role of wealthy individuals and former political leaders in shaping the country's future, even after they have left office. The protests highlight the divisive legacy of the Trump presidency and the desire among many Americans to limit the power of influential figures who they believe threaten democratic norms.

The details
