Of the sixty-five lawsuits that Donald Trump's team filed in the 2020 election, Democrats won sixty-four—with the attorney Marc Elias spearheading the majority. Elias's success is notable, as even Steve Bannon has spoken of him with admiration. In the current political landscape, Elias is working for Vice-President Kamala Harris's campaign. Despite his past victories, he expresses grave concerns about the 2024 election, highlighting the more competent and desperate strategies of Trump and his allies, which pose a significant threat to democracy.
Elias emphasizes the seriousness of the situation, saying, 'We should all expect that they are more competent than they were before. And also Donald Trump is more desperate than he was before.' His insights reflect a steep learning curve from the 2020 election, as Trump faces legal challenges and the rise of election-denying officials in pivotal swing states, potentially heralding a more organized assault on democratic processes.
Reflecting on Trump's future claims, Elias adds, 'I believe Donald Trump is going to say after Election Day in 2024 that he won all fifty states—that there's no state he didn't win. That is just the pathology that is Donald Trump.' This underscores the ongoing challenges of misinformation and Trump's potential refusal to accept electoral defeat, which could exacerbate political division.
