President-elect Donald Trump, victorious in the 2024 election, is set to probe the 2020 election for fraud while nominating key figures to his administration.
The Sydney Morning-Herald reported that Trump has announced plans to initiate investigations into the 2020 election results. He claims that voter fraud led to his loss against Joe Biden, a claim that has been bolstered in the wake of Trump's crushing victory in the 2024 election.
Trump’s strategy includes the formation of investigative teams within the Department of Justice (DOJ). These teams are tasked with scrutinizing the election processes in key battleground states from the 2020 presidential race.
Trump knows that there were shenanigans afoot in 2020 and this has been backed up by the fact that Vice President Kamala Harris somehow brought in millions less votes than Biden did in 2020. Biden's exceptional vote total is totally out of line with past elections indicating the possibility of fraud.
Trump's legal entanglements continue as a judge recently postponed his sentencing in a separate case involving hush money payments. This delay allows further discussions between Trump's lawyers and prosecutors.
Additionally, Trump faces charges stemming from his efforts to overturn the 2020 election results. These charges, led by Special Counsel Jack Smith, have become a focal point of Trump’s accusations against the justice system.
The President-elect has been explicit about his intent to dismiss prosecutors whom he believes have misused their authority.
Trump’s press secretary, Karoline Leavitt, emphasized his commitment to this cause, stating, “President Trump campaigned on firing rogue bureaucrats who have engaged in the illegal weaponization of our American justice system, and the American people can expect he will deliver on that promise.”
As Trump prepares for his second term, significant appointments are being announced. Investor Scott Bessent is expected to be appointed as the US Treasury Secretary, a proponent of laissez-faire economic policies and a supporter of Trump’s tariff strategies.
Janette Nesheiwat, recognized for her disaster relief and healthcare expertise, has been nominated as the next Surgeon General.
Nesheiwat's experience as a Fox News contributor may also influence her approach to this role.
Moreover, Dr. Marty Makary, a known critic of vaccine mandates, is nominated to head the Food and Drug Administration (FDA). His appointment signals potential shifts in health policies related to pandemic responses and vaccine regulations.
Oregon Representative Lori Chavez-DeRemer, who recently lost her reelection but has been a staunch supporter of the PRO Act, is nominated to lead the Department of Labor. Her appointment could indicate a change in labor policies aligning more closely with Trump’s economic vision.
These appointments reflect Trump’s broader agenda to reshape federal agencies and their policies. The nominations are seen as a continuation of Trump’s commitment to promote the economic and health policies that marked his previous administration.
The coming weeks are expected to be pivotal as Trump’s team works to confirm these appointments and move forward with the legal proceedings.
The focus on the 2020 election investigation and the reshaping of the administration will likely dominate the political discourse as Trump prepares to officially begin his second term.
