Harris campaign on Trump's false claim of victory: Ready for it

Donald Trump will not succeed in trying to violently overturn the results of the 2024 presidential election for one “key” reason: He is not in power, senior Kamala Harris campaign officials said Sunday.

A senior Democratic political official said the campaign is “ready for it” and “won't be surprised” if Trump repeats his 2020 plan, especially after he said earlier Sunday that after Joe Biden “he won't have the White House.” should have left”. defeated him.

“We currently have a president in the White House who respects elections, respects the will of voters, respects the rule of law and instead of pushing and supporting a coup, he will use the federal government to ensure that everything runs as smoothly and peacefully as possible.” “At “With the transfer of power, everything is as it should be,” the official told reporters during a call.

When Trump was still in office on January 6, 2021, he had control of the D.C. National Guard, which he did not use to repel his violent MAGA attackers who stormed the Capitol to stop Congress from declaring the 2020 election results to confirm. This time, Biden will be in the White House – and his administration has set a date of January 6, 2025, when Congress will reconvene to fulfill its constitutional obligation to “National special event on safety.”

“So that's a key difference,” said the Harris campaign aide, one of two senior officials who spoke to reporters on the condition of anonymity to speak freely about election updates.

The U.S. Secret Service and federal, state and local law enforcement partners have been planning for months to develop a comprehensive security plan to prevent another insurrection, Eric Ranaghan, special agent in charge of the U.S. Secret Service's Dignity Protection Division, said in September.

But Trump's multiple profanities at weekend rallies are cause for concern.

“He’s afraid he can’t win,” one of Harris’ campaign aides said Sunday.

Trump claimed the election was already being “stolen” from him and falsely claimed that states would extend the election for 12 more days. He has also told his supporters that poll workers who wanted to see voter IDs would be jailed and that voters wearing suits and ties would be turned away from polling stations.

“It was pretty out of control. None of this is true,” the Harris team official told reporters. “The truth is that Donald Trump and his allies are aggressively trying to attack the integrity of our election, even though the election has not yet taken place.”

Over one weekend, the former president raged and cursed at various rallies about the quality of his microphones — including a bizarre phallic freakout that featured SNL's “Weekend update”Hitlist. He joked about it Gun violence against the media, said he “shouldn’t have left” the White House after Joe Biden defeated him in 2020 and suggested a shocking poll Harris lists it in deep red Iowa as the work of a “Trump hater.”

All of this followed two potentially fatal mistakes by the Trump campaign: the Madison Square Garden rally criticizing Puerto Rico and annoying Latino voters with a standup comedian's insult about the “floating island of trash.” and Trump's violent comments about Liz Cheney, the former Wyoming Republican congresswoman who served on the House special committee on Jan. 6 and endorsed Harris for president.

Trump called Cheney a “radical war hawk” and said, “Let's put her there with the nine-barreled gun shooting at her.” Okay, let's see what she thinks. You know, when the guns are pointed at their faces.”

“He's really ending his campaign with complete darkness and anger,” one of the Harris campaign officials said.

In the final hours of the presidential campaign, the two Harris campaign officials said they were encouraged by the early voting numbers, particularly among women and students in key battleground states.

“Of course and ultimately this is a very close race,” said one.
