@w7voa He corrected himself and said "I mean if Trump loses, I'm not confident at all".

@w7voa Good. The Dems should absolutely be prepared for the worst possible scenario. No excuses.

@w7voa Steve, your mistake in your tweet tells us so much about you personally. It makes me sad.

@w7voa

It's really bizarre, and terrifying, that this is even a news story at all.

The Republican Party has repeatedly declared that it rejects elections as a means of assigning power. We all watched them attempt a violent coup in 2021. So why is it news when Biden acknowledges what the GOP is saying out loud to all of us?

Any why is any journalist treating the GOP like it's a legitimate political party, instead of the insurgent group that it is?

@w7voa So, what, that would mean he thinks Kamala would pull a J6? Bullshit.

Wins? Or loses? This makes a very, very big difference. Your toot says wins, the headline you posted says loses.

@w7voa I've reported this post to the instance admin due to its false information, replacing "loses" with "wins".

@w7voa I am of the view that this was a warning...by Mr. Biden....to trumpo & his MAGA terrorist hoodlums.....to NOT think they can f with America and its Constitution. Transfer may not be peaceful, that's a choice they will make....but the transfer pf power to Madam President Harris WILL TAKE PLACE....AS SCHEDULED, PER OUR LAWS. Find out otherwise at your peril....seems to me is what he's saying....

There's a reason I unfollowed Steve Herman: his reporting and framing ALWAYS favor the GOP.

@lisamelton
Hey Lisa,
Steve‘s post grossly misrepresents the actual article he links to. The article says „if Trump *looses*“, which is a very different message.
As Steve seems to be unwilling to correct his mistake (pointed out in many replies) by editing the post, I suggest to remove your boost.
