(NewsNation) — Senator Chris Murphy (D-CT.) has rejected the notion that Democrats will not accept the results of the presidential election if former President Donald Trump wins.
According to Decision Desk HQ, Trump has a 53% chance of winning the presidency and is slightly ahead in all swing states except Michigan.
Chris Stirewalt asked Murphy whether Harris-Walz supporters may repeat scenes at the Capitol building on Jan. 6 2021 after President Joe Biden beat Trump in the 2020 election.
Murphy’s response was emphatic.
Here’s which counties will decide the 2024 election
“Are you kidding?… So are Democrats going to be mad and upset if Donald Trump wins? Of course.
“Are we going to lead an assault on the Capitol to try to overthrow democracy? Absolutely not.
“And I think you know the idea that there’s some equivalency between democrats being very worried about a Trump presidency, and Donald Trump having helped lead a violent insurrection against democracy and promising to pardon anybody who carries out acts of violence on his behalf, is probably not entirely accurate.”
