House Majority Whip Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.) is predicting President Donald Trump will not leave office should he lose the 2020 Presidential Election in November.
According to CNN’s Dana Bash, Clyburn said in a previous interview he does not believe Trump would be willing to give up his office.
Clyburn doubled down on his comments reiterating he does not think Trump will transfer power peacefully.
“I don’t think he plans to leave the White House. He doesn’t plan to have fair and unfettered elections. I believe that he plans to install himself in some kind of emergency way to continue to hold onto office,” Clyburn said.
Watch his comments below:
Clyburn’s comments come just days after Trump suggested delaying the election, as IJR previously reported.
The president issued a tweet on Thursday slamming “universal mail-in voting” and argued if Americans vote using this system the election will be the most “inaccurate” and “fraudulent” election in history.
Trump followed his tweet with another after receiving backlash.
He said his suggestion to delay the election led the media to “finally” start discussing the risks of mail-in voting, as IJR previously reported
