Key metric: Political Polarization Index

As a social scientist, I analyze that this article highlights increasing political tensions and polarization in the United States. The multiple lawsuits, conflicts between the Trump administration and various entities (including the Federal Reserve), and the racial redistricting issues all point to deepening divides in American politics. The attempts to influence key institutions like the Federal Reserve and redraw congressional maps suggest a struggle for power and control over democratic processes. This heightened conflict and the undermining of institutional independence could lead to increased political polarization, potentially affecting governance, policy-making, and public trust in democratic institutions.
