Published

If you were in the same position, Governor, if this were happening in your state, would you certify that race? It's important for us to recognize that that governor is being influenced by Donald Trump. Donald Trump of course wants to prosecute or all of his opponents. He's threatened to jail me. He frankly just brings up the law now as a weapon and uses his DOJ against Democrats across the country. So what I can tell you is that that election will go off on Tuesday. (02:31–02:39)
