Error 404 (Not Found)!!1Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) looked to assure nervous Democrats that there are “a number of plans†to deal with a scenario in which President Trump loses the November election but refuses to leave office.
Sanders, speaking to TV host Bill Maher Friday night, said it was of tantamount importance that liberals elect Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden but that Democrats will have contingency plans to remove Trump from office if he refuses to go.
“The bottom line is, there are things that we have to do now to make sure that Biden wins. And if Trump attempts to stay in office after losing, there will be a number of plans out there to make sure that he is evicted from office," he said. "But right now, in the next five weeks, our job is to defeat him and defeat him badly."
The remarks come amid blistering criticism from Democrats over Trump’s refusal to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the November election.
“We’re going to have to see what happens, you know, but I’ve been complaining very strongly about the ballots. The ballots are a disaster,†Trump told reporters at a White House briefing Wednesday.
