Washington, D.C. – Yesterday, Donald Trump held a rally at Madison Square Garden in New York where he referenced a “little secret” that he has with Speaker Johnson that appears to be a plan to use the House to try to overturn the results of the upcoming election if Trump loses again. Trump and Johnson were joined by MAGA House Republicans including Speaker Mike Johnson and New York Representatives Mike Lawler and Anthony D’Esposito.
In response, Congressional Integrity Project executive director, Kyle Herrig, issued the following statement:
“With only days left before the 2024 election, Donald Trump continues to openly plan to overturn the election results if he loses again at the ballot box. Trump’s lackeys in the House have spent their whole time in the majority acting as an arm of the Trump campaign and they could serve as co-conspirators in his desperate plan to stage a second coup attempt. MAGA House Republicans have repeatedly demonstrated that they only answer to one person – Donald Trump – and they will stop at nothing to return him to the White House so he can enact their extreme anti-democracy Project 2025 agenda.”
