Byron York from the Washington Examiner recently dropped a bombshell: as Trump’s return to the White House looms closer, the Democrats might just pull out all stops in a desperate attempt to stop him once again. After all, what’s a political party without a little backroom scheming? Reflecting on the days of 2016, York pointed out how their behind-the-scenes antics could easily resurface as January 2025 approaches, hinting that invoking the Fourteenth Amendment might be their go-to plan. Apparently, the idea of a Trump presidency sends shivers down their spines significant enough to warrant scrambling for any legal loophole they can grasp.
It’s hard to believe that Democrats would resort to such desperate measures, but as York suggested, their tactics might escalate as the big day nears. Not only are they still grappling with the sour taste of defeat from the recent election, but they find themselves uncomfortably leaderless. With a string of losses in both the White House and the Senate, they’re left wondering who could possibly lead the party in 2028—if Trump doesn’t occupy the White House every four years until then.
Oh I am sure they will! I’m fairly certain they are pooping their depends right now! 😹😎~TS
Democrats could make ‘Hail Mary’ effort to stop Trump’s return: Byron York https://t.co/PYAx9P8Ar0

You’d think these seasoned politicians would learn a thing or two after losing to Trump before, but just like a cat with nine lives, they seem determined to exhaust every last option. They’ll inject themselves into discussions about insurrection and the Constitution, all while conveniently ignoring the elephant in the room: their own performance at the polls. With their strategy rooted more in obstruction than constructive politics, it’s no wonder they are grasping at straws.
And while the Democrats plot and plan, Trump is busy assembling a Cabinet that is already raising eyebrows and hopes among the GOP ranks. With Rep. Mike Waltz lined up as a potential national security adviser and a rumor mill swirling that Sen. Marco Rubio could be appointed as Secretary of State, it appears Trump’s administration is gaining momentum. Meanwhile, President Biden reportedly plans to attend Trump’s inauguration—a small act of bipartisanship amidst all the impending drama. Melania Trump will sit out this initial post-election meeting, sparking a few raised eyebrows, but what else is new?
The overall narrative is all too clear: as Trump continues to solidify his political resurgence, embattled Democrats are stuck in a game of catch-up. Their desire to hinder the forthcoming Trump administration could very well demonstrate their self-inflicted lack of direction, proving just how far they are willing to go to sabotage their political opponents—and themselves in the process. With every distraction they attempt, they reveal more about their inability to adapt to the new political landscape that has overtaken them since Trump first burst onto the scene. The countdown to January 20th is not just a date; it’s a reminder of their unraveling strategy.
