Former President Trump is setting off alarms among critics as he pushes the claim that Vice President Harris’s ascent to become the Democratic nominee is somehow unconstitutional, with some warning he could be laying the groundwork to contest an electoral defeat as he did in 2020.
Trump has repeatedly sought to cast Harris replacing President Biden as the Democratic nominee as nefarious, likening it to a “coup” and in recent days claiming it may be unconstitutional because she was not atop the ballot in the primary process.
Biden and other Democrats, as well as some Republican Trump critics, have suggested the former president’s rhetoric is intended to cast doubt on November’s results should Harris prevail.
“We know one thing for sure. Trump never loses. And so if he’s not the winner of 2024 as in 2020, it must be because he was treated unfairly, yet again,” former Trump national security adviser John Bolton said on CNN.
“This is why people need to start thinking more now about how to deny Trump the ability the day after the election, if he loses, to try and throw the process into chaos again,” Bolton added.
Biden announced July 21 he would not seek reelection. Democrats quickly rallied behind Harris, who this week was officially certified as the party’s nominee following delegate voting.
Trump, who was leading Biden in the polls and appeared on track for victory in November, has repeatedly said the president was forced out and called it a “coup.” More recently, he has questioned whether Democrats replacing Biden with Harris somehow violated the Constitution, particularly after recent polls show Harris closing in on him.

How many primary votes did Kamala get?
How many delegates at the Convention voted for her.
And Pelosi took credit for getting rid of Biden im a Soft Coup.
And now these idiots are complaining that Trump is shining a light on their screw ups?
Don’t the rules of each party specify how their candidates are to be selected? This isn’t spelled out in the Constitution.
There is nothing wrong with what Trump is pointing out.
But every time Trump deviates from “inflation”and “border” is a mistake.
There are no parties in the Constitution, and no Presidential elections, either.
Uh, Biden quit.
The constitution is silent on party politics but it may run afoul of federal and state laws.
It is highly undemocratic, especially for a party campaigning on “saving democracy”!
He has every right to question if Biden was forced out which he clearly was.he literally has never said it was unconstitutional. The Hill is just a bunch of clowns.
Isn’t this exactly what Democrats do so well? Ever hear of the Russia collusion hoax?
Only chance of winning is sticking to the main issues. Personal attacks have to go. Border, DEI, men in women’s spaces, Hamas wing of dem party, inflation, unsafe cities…. hammer it home day and night. It’s easy if you think about it. Trump baselines to personal attacks. He’s got to get off that.
Yep. So this talk of un-Constitutionality is BS.
Trump should stay on inflation, illegals, crime and foreign wars. But he lacks discipline, sadly.
Trump is just reminding democrats that their President was forced to stand down and replaced with someone no one ever voted for. He’s just turning the screws , thats all.
Biden should come forward and tell the truth what happened but he’s too far gone to stand up for himself. Maybe Dr.Jill can do it.
No Trump has to stop this for several reasons. It makes him.look weak and worried that he has to question Harris’qualifications rather than continue to attack her pokicies. It also shows a throw it at the wall and see what sticks attitude. No matter what the Dems did, even if they threatened to burn down the Rehoboth mansion, the decision on who is the candidate is the DNC’s alone. There was a time when there were fewer than five primaries and before that no primaries at all. So this line of thought makes Trump look scared and ignorant. And stop overtly playing to the dedicated MAGA. They alone wont win the election. And if they complain if Trump goes a bit off course and won’t vote for him then they will get the America they truly would deserve.
Good old synagouge oder satan marxidt Samuels.
The Democrat Party is not.
We have people posting here that think that independents will only vote for Republican candidates who are like Mr. Rodger’s or Mother Theresa, but will vote for every nasty, lying criminal Democrat.
It’s almost like they’re paid to do it.
Stow it, Trump!
It’s afraid.
