Sep 20, 2024, 04:33 PM

House Democrats have reiterated their stance that former President Donald Trump is a 'threat to democracy,' despite recent assassination attempts on his life. The rhetoric has intensified following two incidents in the past two months where attempts were made on Trump's life, with the most recent occurring less than a week ago. Prominent Democrats, including allies of Vice President Kamala Harris, have refused to tone down their language, arguing that Trump poses a significant threat to American democracy. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer has also confirmed that Democrats will not stop labeling Trump a threat. This stance has drawn criticism from Trump's supporters, who accuse the Democrats of inciting violence against the former president. House Democrats told Fox News that they will continue their rhetoric.
