Democratic lawmakers and Kamala Harris’s campaign are criticizing Donald Trump for telling a crowd of supporters that they “won’t have to vote again” if he wins the election in November. Trump made these remarks at a rally in Florida, causing concern that he was implying he would end elections if re-elected. Harris and other Democrats argue that Trump’s comments are a threat to democracy and a promise to end American democracy.
In response, Joe Biden and Kamala Harris have proposed reforms to the Supreme Court, including term limits for justices and a code of conduct. Biden has also called for a constitutional amendment to remove immunity for crimes committed by a president while in office. The Harris campaign has described Trump’s remarks as a promise to end democracy and a threat to the Constitution.
Republicans have dismissed Trump’s comments as “classic Trumpism” and suggested he was making a joke. Senator Lindsey Graham stated that Trump was trying to reassure supporters that he can turn the country around and pass on democracy to future generations. However, Democratic congressman Dan Goldman warned that the only way “you won’t have to vote anymore” is if Trump becomes a dictator, pointing to Trump’s previous comments about being a dictator on day one if re-elected. Overall, Trump’s remarks have sparked controversy and raised concerns about the future of American democracy.
