Retired federal Judge J. Michael Luttig warns that Donald Trump and his Republican allies pose the "biggest threat" to American democracy, potentially attempting to prevent a Democratic majority from being seated in Congress on January 3rd, 2027. Luttig suggests this could be a repeat of the January 6th, 2021 events, but focused on blocking the seating of elected members rather than the transfer of presidential power. He emphasizes that Trump's own words and actions indicate a continued determination to undermine democratic processes.

WHY IT MATTERS

The stakes are the integrity of the democratic process and the peaceful transfer of power in the United States, as a conservative judge raises alarms about potential efforts to subvert election results and prevent the seating of a duly elected Congress.
