A blast from the past.

"Overblown fear"





"Why Pelosi is worried
Pelosi raised concerns about Trump refusing to leave office if he loses the election during an interview with the New York Times’s Glenn Thrush that was published on May 4. The interview took place amid the escalating battle between the Trump administration and Democrats about the extent to which the White House will allow Congress to conduct oversight of the executive branch, if at all.

“We have to inoculate against that, we have to be prepared for that,” Pelosi said, referring to the possibility of Trump challenging the legitimacy of a Democratic win. She cited her concern as a reason Democrats should strive to “own the center left, own the mainstream” during their 2020 campaigns, instead of running on more progressive proposals like the Green New Deal or Medicare-for-all."
