Wed Sep 18 17:38:52 UTC 2024: ## Rep. Goldman Accuses Trump of Planning Coup in 2025, Urges Donations

Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY) has accused former President Donald Trump of planning to “execute a coup” on January 6, 2025, if he loses the 2024 presidential election. In a fundraising text message, Goldman claims Trump is targeting New York in an attempt to secure a House majority, paving the way for Mike Johnson, a key figure in the 2020 election overturn efforts, to become Speaker. Goldman alleges that Johnson’s role would be to facilitate a coup if Trump loses the presidency.

The message urges recipients to contribute to Goldman’s campaign, emphasizing the importance of flipping the House to ensure that Democrat Hakeem Jeffries becomes Speaker instead.

The accusations come amidst speculation surrounding a potential scenario where Democrats could attempt to disqualify Trump from office on January 6, 2025, if he wins the election, based on the Fourteenth Amendment.

Goldman’s claims have been met with criticism from some, who point to his past history of promoting the unproven “pee tape” allegations against Trump.
