Everywhere you look these days, there are predictions and polls regarding who will likely win the 2024 presidential election. Will it be Vice President Kamala Harris or will former president Donald Trump manage to eke out a victory?
Polls suggest the race is dead even, with the latest Friday morning polls showing the race tied 48-48 with less than two weeks until Election Day on Nov. 5.
So it seems the right time to ask someone who actually knows Trump and has been right many times about what the disgraced ex-president will say or do on any number of issues.
Anthony Scaramucci was the White House Director of Communications for 10 days and spoke this week with Sirius XM host Dean Obeidallah about what might happen over the next couple of weeks.
According to Scaramucci, Harris will be victorious.
If that proves to be an accurate prediction, will Trump then attempt to overturn the results and possibly even call for rioting by his supporters the way he did on January 6, 2021 at the Capitol?
“If he loses, I’m in the contrarian view that he will not try to foment any violent revolution or an insurrection because he has a sentencing hanging over him on November the 26th,” Scaramucci said. “So three weeks after the election, 34 felony counts, he’s got to stand before a judge and be sentenced. If he’s fomenting violence in the three weeks after the election, they’re going to put him in jail. There’s no question about that in my mind.”
But what if Trump merely slinks away without calling for unrest? Does he still wind up in prison?
“I think if he doesn’t do that, and he says, ‘I’m never going to accept a defeat, but I’m not suggesting violence,’ and he slinks away, they won’t put him in jail because I don’t think they want to put a former president, no matter how bad he is, in jail. But if he’s out there blowing dog whistles and he says, ‘I want you to shoot your neighbors that didn’t vote for me,’ and you have violence in the streets in the United States, he’s going straight to jail.”
Let’s hope Scaramucci is right about a Harris victory and wrong about Trump’s chances of incarceration. If anyone has ever deserved to spend the rest of their life behind bars, it’s Donald Trump.
