The Atlantic publishes “Si Trump gana,” Spanish translation of “If Trump Wins” special issue

Today, The Atlantic published “ Si Trump gana ,” the Spanish translation of the cover package from “If Trump Wins,” a highly-sought-after special issue of the magazine featuring essays by two dozen Atlantic writers on the consequences of a possible second Trump presidency, and the potential policy implications for the courts, education, the military, foreign policy, immigration, abortion rights, climate, and many other aspects of life. The project is available alongside a Spanish version of The Atlantic ’s September-issue cover story, “ Seventy Miles in the Darién Gap ,” by Caitlin Dickerson: a deep exploration and first-person account of the Darién Gap and the more than 800,000 migrants who traverse its jungle each year as part of a migration north.

These stories offer crucial reporting on urgent issues and are part of The Atlantic ’s continued efforts to increase the accessibility of its journalism and reach new audiences. The Spanish translations are available to readers with or without an Atlantic subscription.

“If Trump Wins” (read in Spanish and English ) builds an overwhelming case, across 24 essays, that both Donald Trump and Trumpism pose an existential threat to America and to the ideas that animate it. With each writer focusing on a subject area of their expertise, the issue argues that assuming that a second Trump term would mirror the first would be a mistake: The threats to democracy, including the danger of authoritarianism and corruption, would be greater. Since the issue first published, in December 2023, the reporting has remained urgent and relevant, and there has been continued interest and demand for the print edition. The issue sold out widely this winter and is currently back on newsstands for a limited rerelease.

Also in Spanish is “ Seventy Miles in the Darién Gap ,” reported by staff writer Caitlin Dickerson and photographed by Lynsey Addario, which documents the stories of families and individuals making the harrowing crossing along the border of Colombia and Panama. Two years after her Pulitzer Prize–winning cover story exposed the secret history of the Trump administration’s family-separation policy, Dickerson, with this article, once again provides essential reporting around the current state of immigration in the United States.

This effort continues a historic year for The Atlantic . In April, for the third consecutive year, The Atlantic was awarded the top honor of General Excellence at the 2024 National Magazine Awards, the most prestigious category in the American Society of Magazine Editors’ annual awards; it also won three separate reporting awards. The magazine earned its first Pulitzer Prizes in 2021, 2022, and 2023, for stories that exemplify the depth and range of The Atlantic ’s journalism. In March, The Atlantic announced that it had topped 1 million subscriptions and reached profitability.
