A senior Trump campaign adviser delivered a not-so-subtle threat about November’s election in an interview with Politico on Thursday: “It’s not over until he puts his hand on the Bible and takes the oath. It’s not over until then,” Chris LaCivita told Politico’s Jonathon Martin.
“It’s not over on Election Day, it’s over on Inauguration Day, cause I wouldn’t put anything past anybody.”
This follows an increasing trend of sometimes violent rhetoric and pre-election denial coming from Republicans, setting the stage for a contested election. “As things stand right now, there’s a zero percent chance of a free and fair election,” said Mike Howell, executive director of the Heritage Foundation’s Oversight Project, according to The Washington Post.
