Republican Rep. Liz Cheney called Trump out this week after he stated that Mike Pence should have "overturned" the election on January 6th:
"Trump uses language he knows caused the Jan 6 violence; suggests he’d pardon the Jan 6 defendants, some of whom have been charged with seditious conspiracy; threatens prosecutors; and admits he was attempting to overturn the election. He’d do it all again if given the chance."
Trump isn’t just threatening to overthrow our democracy. He and his supporters are trying to replace Democratic pro-voter, pro-democracy Secretaries of State with partisan Big Lie believers in key swing states where the 2024 presidential race will likely be tight. That could give them a chance to overturn results they don't like.
Trump's focus is on states that are likely to determine the winner of the next presidential election -- and his endorsements go far deeper into the machinery of government than just big name, high-profile races. For the 2022 elections, Trump has so far endorsed 18 candidates in Texas, 14 in Michigan, 8 in Florida, 5 in Arizona, and 4 in Georgia.
Because secretaries of state are so critical in keeping our democracy alive, now is the time to ensure pro-voter, pro-democracy Democrats win and preside over our elections.
Thanks for being a bold progressive.
