Ex-Labor Secretary Warns How Donald Trump Could Actually Steal The 2024 Election

Former Labor Secretary Robert Reich cautioned in a video released Tuesday that Americans may “kiss our democracy goodbye” if former President Donald Trump and his allies succeed in their plan “to overthrow the government in a slow-motion coup.”

Trump “ultimately failed to overturn the 2020 election,” thanks to the resistance of election officials, mainly secretaries of state, “who held the United States’ rickety democracy together” by certifying President Joe Biden’s victory, explained Reich, who was a member of President Bill Clinton’s Cabinet.

But if the “quiet movement” led by former Trump White House chief strategist Steve Bannon succeeds with Trump loyalists taking over the machinery of democracy, then all bets are off, Reich warned.

“We cannot allow our democracy to be overtaken like this,” he said.
