I know that Mark Halperin is little more than a Democrat retread on Newsmax, but he was right about Biden dropping out the weekend he did. He was also right about Trump having Georgia, North Carolina and Arizona in the bag for the election. So could he be right about this too? Democrats are apparently preparing to try and stop Trump from taking office on January 20th.
Political analyst Mark Halperin warned Friday that as President-elect Donald Trump’s inauguration approaches, efforts to block him from assuming office will intensify.
In a Thursday column for The Hill, liberal attorneys Evan Davis and David Schulte argued that Congress can still prevent Trump from taking office on Jan. 20 by rejecting electoral votes on Jan. 6, claiming Trump is disqualified under the 14th Amendment. Halperin, on “American Agenda,” suggested that as the shock of Trump’s November victory subsides, more individuals on the left will follow the attorneys’ lead in opposing Trump’s second term.

“It seems ill-timed, not just not in the spirit of the holiday season, but also given where we are in the transition cycle … we’re gonna see more of this. I think the left has been a little bit shocked by the election results,” Halperin said. “And I think as the reality of January 20th gets closer, I think you’ll see more opinionizing just like this.”
Host Jessie Jane Duff later asked Halperin what he thought the motivation for publishing The Hill column was.
“I try not to speculate on people’s motives if I don’t have reporting, so I don’t really know. But again, The Hill likes to get attention, so that could be part of it,” he responded. “But it also reflects a point of view that’s held by tens of millions of Americans … I think that you’re gonna see more manifestations like this as we get closer to inauguration day.”
