Trump Claims Unfettered Right to Interfere in 2020 Election, Drawing Rebuke from Harris

In a recent interview with Fox News, former President Donald Trump, known for his outspoken nature, made headlines once again by asserting that he had the absolute right to interfere in the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Trump, who has persistently refused to concede his loss to President Joe Biden, has repeatedly hinted at electoral irregularities since the contentious election.

The remarks were made during a Fox News segment aired on Sunday, where Trump lashed out against the ongoing criminal investigations against him, suggesting that they are unjust. In the interview, he provocatively queried, Who has ever heard of such a thing, that you get sued for interfering in a presidential election when you have the absolute right to do it?

The former president also highlighted that the legal challenges he is facing have not dampened his popularity; in fact, they seem to have boosted his poll numbers. He alluded that this might be because his supporters inherently doubt the legitimacy of the charges against him, adding, Your poll numbers go up when you get sued. That’s not supposed to happen.

Vice President Harris Hits Back

Reacting swiftly to Trump’s comments on Monday, Vice President Kamala Harris, who is also the Democratic nominee for president, slammed the former president through a statement from her campaign team. They argued that Trump’s recent Fox News interview, as well as his previous statements, clearly demonstrate that he believes himself to be above the law.

Campaign spokesperson Sarafina Chitika stated, Donald Trump’s campaign promises – from ‘terminating’ the Constitution to imprisoning his political opponents and pledging to rule as a dictator on ‘day one’ – all clearly show that he believes himself to be above the law. Now, Trump claims he had the ‘absolute right’ to interfere in the 2020 election. In reality, he did not.

Legal Battles Surrounding Trump

Since the 2020 election, Trump has steadfastly maintained that he won, disputing Biden’s victory. The storming of the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021, by his supporters, an attempt to disrupt the certification of the election results, was a stark manifestation of the tensions that had been building.

At the federal level, Trump is currently facing charges of defrauding the United States, obstructing Congress in certifying Biden’s win, and剥夺选民’s right to a fair election. Last month, he was also accused of attempting to illegally overturn the results of the 2020 election.

In addition, Trump is under scrutiny in Fulton County, Georgia, where he faces similar allegations. He is also accused of extortion, a charge that could lead to a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. This case stems from a January 2, 2021, phone call in which Trump pressured Georgia’s top election official, Brad Raffensperger, to find enough votes to reverse his narrow loss in the state. Raffensperger refused to comply.

As the Republican nominee for president in this year’s election, Trump has yet to definitively表态 whether he would accept a loss to his Democratic opponent, Vice President Harris. His recent claims about the 2020 election and ongoing legal battles continue to shape the narrative leading up to the polls.
