The only way President Trump will accept defeat in the 2020 election is if Democrats win by a big enough margin that he can’t dispute it, argues House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“If we win by four seats, by a thousand votes each, he’s not going to respect the election,” said Pelosi in an interview with the New York Times.
After Democrats won the House popular vote by the largest midterm margin since the Watergate scandal, Trump at the post-election press conference conceded that “from a dealmaking standpoint, we are all much better off the way it turned out.” “All levels of government and Law Enforcement are watching carefully for VOTER FRAUD, including during EARLY VOTING,” Trump tweeted a few weeks before the elections. “Cheat at your own peril. Violators will be subject to maximum penalties, both civil and criminal!”
But Pelosi, who doesn’t support the “exuberances” of her party, like the Green New Deal and “Medicare for All,” says “it is imperative not to play into the president’s hands, especially on impeachment.”
