Donald Trump initially said Kamala Harris shouldn’t be “allowed” to run against him. Now he wants her “forced off” the campaign trail.

…

Ahead of Election Day 2020, Trump said Joe Biden shouldn’t have been “allowed” to run for president. In July 2024, he said Kamala Harris shouldn’t be “allowed” to run, either.

Four months later, as a HuffPost report noted, the former president insisted that the Democratic vice president should now be “forced off” the campaign trail.

In recent weeks, as the GOP nominee has struggled to come up with a coherent closing message, he’s fixated on a handful of preoccupations, including his desire to see Biden return to the ballot, his baseless “60 Minutes” conspiracy theory and his insistence that Harris should stop running against him.

      I’m going to go ahead and say convicted felons probably shouldn’t be eligible for the country’s highest office, either.

        Not a good law to pass. The GOP would weaponize that before the ink was dry on the bill.

          If your country is in a place where you don’t think banning felons from holding elected office is good because you are worried that the legislative branch will weaponize the judicial branch to stop their opposition from running, then I’d suggest that the problem isn’t one that laws can fix

            It was a forethought, it was intentional. The “founding fathers” may have been super naive and absurd in some situations, but this is one they got correct. You don’t want to let the government decide who gets to run in that way because that will almost always be abused no matter what the current society is like.

            There are specific situations like what Colorado tried with Trump that makes sense and have a legal history, he was part of an insurrection, but for “standard” felonies it’s best that we don’t go down that road.

      Didn’t he clarify that it was a celebration of joy or something?
