Senator Richard Blumenthal asserts that the political battle over President-elect Donald Trump's presidency is far from over, citing concerns about Trump's nominee selections and potential pardons for January 6th participants.
Vice President Kamala Harris presided over the certification of the 2024 presidential election results on Monday. However, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., asserted that the political battle was only beginning. Blumenthal, who has served in the Senate since 2011, claimed President-elect Donald Trump has chosen 'malignly motivated' nominees who are not qualified. 'Now that the Electoral Count is done we can move on? No. Not with Trump planning blanket pardons.
Not with dangerously unqualified, malignly motivated Trump nominees. Not with Trump normalizing election denial. The fight is just beginning,' the senator declared in a post on X. Karoline Leavitt, who Trump has selected to serve as his White House press secretary, responded to Blumenthal's claims. 'Enough with the Trump Derangement Syndrome,' Leavitt said in a statement to Fox News Digital on Tuesday. 'The American people clearly support President Trump and his policies to secure the border, end inflation, and restore world peace; and President Trump will work with anyone on Capitol Hill who wants to solve these problems and deliver results,' she added. Trump, who is slated to be sworn in on January 20, has indicated that on his first day back in office he will likely pardon people connected with the Jan. 6 episode, telling 'Meet the Press' moderator Kristin Welker late last year that the cases would be examined and there could be exceptions if a person was 'radical, crazy'
