Senator Blumenthal warns that the fight is far from over despite the certification of the 2024 election results, citing Trump's planned pardons and appointment of unqualified nominees.
Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the certification of the 2024 presidential election results on Monday. However, Sen. Richard Blumenthal , D-Conn., stated that the political battle was just beginning. Blumenthal claimed President-elect Donald Trump has chosen 'malignly motivated' nominees who lack qualifications. He argued that the fight continues due to Trump's plans for blanket pardons, the appointment of unqualified nominees, and the normalization of election denial.
Karoline Leavitt, Trump's selected White House press secretary, responded to Blumenthal's claims, stating, 'Enough with the Trump Derangement Syndrome.' She emphasized that the American people support Trump and his policies, and that he is willing to work with anyone in Congress who seeks solutions. Trump has also indicated that he will likely pardon individuals connected to the Jan. 6 episode on his first day back in office
