Democrats like Sen. Elizabeth Warren are trying to find "any way they can" to defeat President Donald Trump in the 2020 election, including eliminating the Electoral College that resulted in his win, Trump senior campaign adviser and daughter-in-law Lara Trump said Tuesday.
"It is clear people are still upset on the left that their chosen candidate did not win in 2016," Trump told Fox News' "America's Newsroom." "They want to find any way they can to beat Donald Trump because I think they know it's going to be incredibly hard, almost impossible to beat this president and the 2020 election so they are looking for anything they can."
Warren said during a CNN town hall in Jackson, Mississippi that the president should be chosen by a popular vote because the Electoral College disenfranchises voters who live in a state dominated by one of the parties.
"This is a system we've had in place for hundreds of years," Trump argued. "It's been working, it's always worked the way it's supposed to."
Several of the 2020 Democratic hopefuls say they're in favor of expanding the Supreme Court, and Trump said that's because they're in "panic mode."
"Democrats are upset when Republicans picked somebody and generally vice versa but anything this president does, whether it's the Supreme Court, the wall, anything he does, they're going to go against no matter how in favor they were a bit in the past," said Trump.
