Yesterday, in a shocking yet unsurprising turn of events, Trump refused to commit to a peaceful transition of power in the event that he doesn’t win the election.
Trump said, "We want to have – get rid of the ballots and you'll have a very – we'll have a very peaceful – there won't be a transfer, frankly. There'll be a continuation."
Get rid of the ballots and he will stay in power? Yes, he actually said that!
We knew this was a possibility, team – but now we need to take it seriously.
The GOP is already fighting to suppress the vote in our battleground state. Now, it’s even more urgent that we reach Wisconsinites with the truth and protect the vote.
Democrats are mobilizing massive amounts of voters to ensure Trump can’t make good on these threats to our election integrity.
But here’s the thing – if voters start to believe their votes don’t matter because Trump will hold onto power regardless, it will become a disastrous, self-fulfilling prophecy.
