Harris and Trump expected to go on attack when debate kicks off at 9pm ET, as polls show one of tightest US election races ever
How to watch the Trump-Harris debate
More from Olivia Troye, a former homeland security and counterterrorism adviser to Mike Pence, the vice-president under Donald Trump.
She is holding a press conference as a surrogate of the Harris campaign ahead of the debate, and was asked if she fears retribution from the former president because of her staunch opposition to him.
Troye highlighted a social media post by Trump on Saturday threatening to jail “corrupt” election officials if he wins. The former president wrote: “Those involved in unscrupulous behavior will be sought out, caught, and prosecuted at levels, unfortunately, never seen before in our Country.”
Troye told reporters in Philadelphia: “Just this weekend he threatened to throw election workers in jail. Actually wanted law enforcement to go after them. Think about that. Take a step back and think about what that means for our elections right now when you have a former president of the United States who seeks the Oval Office again and he’s advocating attacks on our election officials.”
She added: “By the way, they’ve already suffered from threats – we saw that in Georgia especially. Even some of the threats to Governor Kemp who just simply held the line and told the truth and stood by the 2020 election, which was a free and fair election.
“When you have someone that’s speaking in that way, I think, yes, he has said there’ll be retribution. I have no doubt there’ll be retribution against myself and others don’t fall in line with exactly his type of cult.”
Just days after students and teachers were murdered in Apalachee High School, Republicans are hosting a debate watch party an hour away at the world’s largest gun store. The Trump team is evil for disrespecting the victims like this — and by continually refusing to support life-saving gun violence prevention policies.
Donald Trump is out-of-touch with the vast majority of Americans on gun violence prevention. He continues to suck up to the gun lobby and insult victims, as shown by today’s event. As young organizers in Georgia and across the country, and members of a generation that has been defined by mass shootings, we know Donald Trump’s flagrant disregard for young Americans’ lives will cost him this election.”
