Trump claims Democratic "coup" as Harris leads in crucial states and secures key GOP endorsements.

Former President Donald Trump has denounced Vice President Kamala Harris’ nomination as the Democratic presidential candidate as “not fair,” escalating his rhetoric as new polls show Harris gaining substantial ground in key battleground states.

In a fiery statement on his social media platform Truth Social, Trump accused the Democratic Party of staging “the first ever ‘Coup’ in America.”

His outburst comes in the wake of President Joe Biden’s unexpected withdrawal from the 2024 race, which paved the way for Harris to become the Democratic nominee.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilmington_massacre

      The Wilmington insurrection of 1898, also known as the Wilmington massacre of 1898 or the Wilmington coup of 1898,[6] was a coup d’état and a massacre which was carried out by white supremacists in Wilmington, North Carolina, United States, on Thursday, November 10, 1898.[7] The white press in Wilmington originally described the event as a race riot caused by black people. In later study from the 20th century onward, the event has been characterized as a violent overthrow of a duly elected government by a group of white supremacists.[8][9]
