Trump stokes fears with ‘unconstitutional’ Harris talk
The Hill ^ | 8/10/24 | Brett Samuels

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.

I assumed that the challenge is that she is not a natural born citizen.

We saw how this went in 2020 and 2021 - Trump needs to win the election. Otherwise, nothing will happen to prevent Harris being sworn in afterward no matter how much contesting Trump does after Election Day. The system is corrupt and stacked against him.

“Trump should stay on inflation, illegals, crime and foreign wars. But he lacks discipline, sadly.”

No. He should spend his time talking about his crowd sizes.🙄😞

I heard him circle back later in that press conference to say ‘may be unconstitutional’.

I don’t think it is, but it clearly flaunts the principals of the constitution.

Oh it’s very dirty and going to change the primary voting process forever. There’s literally no point in naming a nominee till the very end of the campaign and just letting the party elders pick one and go from there.

Tye President will be Trump again, unless the Steal is successful again.

His opposition could not be more extremist leftist weirdos and perverts, and the only way they claim victory is cheating and stolen votes on the scale larger even than Joe Biden’s stolen election.

Crowd size X number of rallies > 100 times any other person living or dead. But that will not attract independents.
