For interfering with the hallmark of American democracy––the peaceful transition of power––Donald Trump must be immediately removed from office

Amid calls for President Donald Trump to be removed from office, Maine Democratic Party Chair Kathleen Marra released the following statement:

“We’ve long known that Donald Trump is unfit to be president. But after months of making baseless and repeatedly disproven claims of voter fraud and attempting to overturn the results of the election he lost, he incited violence at the United States Capitol while lawmakers fulfilled their constitutional duty to count the votes of the Electoral College.

“Donald Trump interfered with the hallmark of American democracy: the peaceful transition of power. He is an imminent threat to our democratic institutions. He must be immediately removed from office.”
