"We are confident that the fair-minded Supreme Court will unanimously affirm the civil rights of President Trump, and the voting rights of all Americans."

"[T]he legal arguments against disqualification are ultimately unsound, and most are very weak."

"[M]y bet is that... even the liberal justices will lean toward allowing voters to decide whether Trump is fit to be president."

Barring Trump from public office "would be the mildest of punishments."

The Jan. 6 riot "is something that could disqualify him, under our rules, and under the constitution."

"The former president's efforts to overturn the 2020 presidential election, and the resulting attack on the US Capitol, place him squarely within the ambit of the disqualification clause."

"[A] plain and fair reading of Section 3... demonstrates that Trump is constitutionally disqualified from holding future public office."

"I think it's really actually very clearcut... [Section 3 is] in general language, and so it applies to anyone who incites an insurrection or rebellion."

"I will do everything in my power to unite the Democratic Party... to defeat Donald Trump... And together, we will win."

"This is a race Democrats can and must win."

"If the Democrats can be unified... then they have a good chance to win in November."

"I’d be very wary and a bit cautious on assuming that Trump is just going to sail to victory."

"Donald Trump’s hopes of claiming the White House just went from near certain to extremely uncertain" now Biden has dropped out.

"This kind of chaos this close to Election Day means Trump is going to win."

"It doesn’t matter whom the Democrats pick... Donald Trump will win in November."

"Donald Trump is now the de facto president."

"If the 2024 presidential election is a race between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris then Trump will win, every time, and most likely win easily."

"Harris will be easier to beat than Joe Biden would have been."

Who Will Win the 2024 US Presidential Election?

Speaking in Washington, D.C. before taking part in a CNN town hall in Pennsylvania, Democratic nominee Vice Pres. Kamala Harris likened GOP candidate former Pres. Donald Trump to Hitler, claiming he "want[ed] unchecked power" and was "unhinged and unstable."

Harris's initial comments came as former Trump White House chief of staff (2017-2019) John Kelly told The New York Times in an interview that the former President "falls in the general definition of fascist," and had commented "more than once" that "Hitler did some good things."

When later asked by CNN host Anderson Cooper if she believed Trump was a fascist, Harris responded "Yes, I do," before claiming that some bipartisan support for her campaign came from "legitimate fear" the GOP candidate would not "obey and an oath to support and defend" the US Constitution.

Posting on social media platform Truth Social, former Pres. Trump described Kelly as a "total degenerate" and alleged "numerous" stories that he told were a lie. The GOP candidate in a separate post claimed that Harris was "increasingly raising her rhetoric" because she "is losing, and losing badly."

In addition, Trump campaign spokesperson Stephen Cheung alleged that Harris was a "stone-cold loser" who was "peddl[ing] outright lies" and proving to be "wholly unfit for office," whilst also claiming that Kelly "failed to serve his President" while working as chief of staff.

Forbes

According to FiveThirtyEight national polling averages, as of Oct. 24 Harris (48.1%) leads Trump (46.4%) by 1.7 points, with the two candidates within 0.5 points of each other in Nevada, Wisconsin, Pennsylvania. Harris is projected to lead by 0.6 points in Michigan, while Trump leads by 1.2 points in North Carolina.
