“The congressman is absolutely right,” he told Capehart. “Make no mistake and let’s be crystal clear. If Donald Trump is re-elected, there is no doubt that he will seek to remain in office beyond his four-year term.”
“He will destroy this country, our democracy, he will change the way we organize elections, he will attack secretaries of state, and he will do everything he can to stay in power,” Garcia continued.
“We won’t have the country we know today. It’s sobering, it’s scary, but we have to take it seriously.”
