Democrats slammed Donald Trump as a threat to democracy this weekend after the former president told a group of Christians they were “not going to have to vote” in four years should he win in November.
Trump urged Christians at Turning Point Action’s Believers Summit on Friday to turn out for the election. “Christians, get out and vote, just this time,” he said. “You won’t have to do it anymore. … You got to get out and vote. In four years, you don’t have to vote again. We’ll have it fixed so good you’re not going to have to vote.”
Various Democrats attacked him for the comment and argued it was a continuation of Trump’s self-described joke that he would be a dictator on “day one” of a second term. “When Vice President Harris says this election is about freedom she means it,” the Kamala Harris campaign said in a statement on Saturday. “Our democracy is under assault by criminal Donald Trump.”
