Yes — our source, @vdeminstitute.bsky.social, won't have data for the US in 2025 until March 2026.
But its most recent report discusses the most recent developments in the US a bit already, on page 46/47:

That's a good question! The data has a pretty broad definition of "multi-party" elections: it just means that more than one party is able to stand in the elections.
And elections are "competitive" if there is no consequential fraud, no systematic intimidation of voters, and elections are timely.

That's a good question. I think in part it's because recent democratic erosion has been slower and less visible.
It even hasn't primarily affected elections, but liberal institutions — checks and balances, civil liberties, and minority rights.

The world has recently become less democratic
Many more people have democratic rights than in the past. Some of this progress has recently been reversed.
