GOP downplays Trump threat to democracy

“Get out and vote just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore,” former President Donald Trump told the crowd at a far-right Christian rally in Florida on Friday. “Four more years it will be fixed. It’ll be fine. You won’t have to vote anymore, my beautiful Christians.”

Asked about that comment Sunday, Republican New Hampshire Gov. Chris Sununu dismissed it as a “classic Trumpism,” downplaying the former president’s threat to democracy. “Obviously we want everybody to vote in all elections, but I think he was just trying to make a hyperbolic point that it can be fixed as long as he gets back into office and all that," he said on ABC’s "This Week."
