House Democrats' Plot To Stage 'Insurrection' After Trump Victory Is Revealed

A possible insurrection is brewing on Capitol Hill as Democrats fret over how or whether to accept the results of the 2024 election if former President Donald Trump is declared the winner.

Despite offering a slew of partisan or bipartisan bills to ostensibly strengthen democracy under President Joe Biden, Democrats are going out on a limb, according to Axios, telling confidants they need to fight fire with fire after House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) hedged on whether he would certify a Kamala Harris victory. That charge is being led by Democratic Congressman Jamie Raskin (D-MD), ranking member of the powerful House Oversight Committee who told the outlet he “definitely” isn’t assuming that a Trump win will be legitimate. If Trump “won a free, fair and honest election, then we would obviously accept it,” he cautioned. However, the Maryland Democrat pointed to several legal challenges the Trump campaign has undertaken in battleground states or districts. Trump, he said, “is doing whatever he can to try to interfere with the process, whether we’re talking about manipulating electoral college counts in Nebraska or manipulating the vote count in Georgia or imposing other kinds of impediments.”
