Donald Trump Accuses Joe Biden of Violating the Constitution to Win a Presidential Election
Former President Donald Trump made unfounded allegations during a rally in Iowa on Wednesday, December 13, accusing President Joe Biden of attempting to remain in power by violating the Constitution.
Trump's remarks come amid his own ongoing legal challenges, with federal criminal indictments from four jurisdictions, two of which are related to his efforts to overturn the 2020 election.
Trump's false claims of a rigged election after losing in 2020 led to him pressuring Republican officials in states he lost to subvert the election results.
The former president once infamously demanded Georgia's secretary of state to "find" 11,780 votes, which would have tipped the scales in his favor. Additionally, Trump urged his vice president, Mike Pence, to refuse to recognize the election results during the certification process in Congress, a move that exceeded his constitutional authority.
During a recent rally, Trump addressed the crowd, stating, "Crooked Joe Biden and the far-left lunatics are desperate to stop us by any means necessary. They're willing to violate the U.S. Constitution at levels never seen before in order to win an election."
Trump further accused the Biden administration and Democrats of using law enforcement as a weapon for high-level election interference, attributing this to their alleged poor performance at the polls.

Trump's latest allegations follow his previous calls for the termination of certain parts of the Constitution.
As OK! previously reported, last year, the ex-prez posed the question on his social media platform, Truth Social, asking his 6.5 million followers, "Do you throw the Presidential Election Results of 2020 OUT and declare the RIGHTFUL WINNER, or do you have a NEW ELECTION?" Trump suggested that a fraud of such magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and even constitutional articles.
Although Trump's claims have been consistently debunked, they continue to resonate with a portion of the population.
