'If Trump wins mid-terms, IT'S GAME OVER' - top democrat says democracy at stake

Published | Video Starts at 00:05

I truly believe that these midterm elections, which will take place this November, will decide the future for this country. If Trump wins, I think it's game over. If he retains control of the House and the Senate, I don't think we can get this democracy back. The slide into authoritarianism will be nearly complete. If Democrats win, however, I think there will be a reckoning for Trump's crimes, his corruption, these reckless wars that he has begun, including the war that we are currently in in Iran.
