Trump Already Claiming Dems 'Trying To Steal 2024 Election'

With more than a year to go until the 2024 presidential election, top advisers to former U.S. President Donald Trump's campaign on Monday night claimed without evidence that the Democratic Party is trying to "steal" the election, echoing the lies spread before the 2020 election that fueled the violent January 6, 2021 insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.

Trump campaign officials called on the Republican National Committee (RNC) to "immediately cancel" the third GOP debate, which is scheduled to take place in Miami on November 8 and which Trump has indicated he will not attend, just as he skipped the first two primary debates.

Senior advisers Susie Wiles and Chris LaCivita called on the RNC to essentially terminate the primary election and "end all future debates in order to refocus its manpower and money on preventing Democrats' efforts to steal the 2024 election."

The presidential election is 13 months away, and Team Trump’s groundless claims of another plot to “steal” it from him have begun. No evidence cited. pic.twitter.com/NAGvPJGhX9

'That Would Be Crazy!': Doocy Fantasizes Dems Would Help Elect Trump Speaker

As we've already discussed here, Republicans with the help of some propagandists in the media have been floating the notion that Trump should run for House Speaker now that the chaos caucus has ousted Kevin McCarthy. But, as we've also discussed here, and as The New York Post finally admitted this week, there's one little problem with that, which is that House rules don't allow it.

On this Thursday's Fox & Friends, cohost Steve Doocy also finally admitted that the rule about felony indictments would prohibit Trump from being elected Speaker unless they change it, and, in keeping with the tradition we've seen from them that Chris Hayes just discussed the previous evening, which is Republicans and the right constantly trying to blame Democrats for the problems they create, Doocy floated the notion that Democrats would all vote for Trump if someone put his name into nomination, because they're the ones that supposedly want chaos just to Republicans to look bad.
