Rep Jamie Raskin

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-Md.) has come under scrutiny after a video surfaced where he suggested that Congress would need to disqualify Donald Trump if he wins the 2024 election, citing the Fourteenth Amendment's Section 3. This remark, made during a panel discussion, implied a potential civil conflict if Trump were allowed to take office, indicating that the responsibility would fall on Congress to act on January 6, 2025. Raskin had previously anticipated a Supreme Court ruling that ultimately reinstated Trump on the Colorado ballot, which was seen as a failure of the court to enforce disqualification based on insurrection claims. His statements have sparked controversy and criticism, with opponents arguing that they reflect a dangerous willingness to undermine democratic processes. Raskin's comments have resonated amid ongoing debates over election integrity and the interpretation of constitutional law.
