State Sen. Kim Ward, whose district includes much of Westmoreland County just to the east of Pittsburgh,Beyond Trump pushing her to help put the Keystone State's 20 electoral votes into his column more than a month after Election Day, Ward said the president's efforts could be putting her in danger. Ward's leadership position is key to Trump's efforts to overturn the results of the election, mainly by calling on GOP-controlled state legislatures to make their own picks for the electoral college so the president could carry the state, effectively nullifying the will of the people.
The legal precedent for such a maneuver has not been on Trump's side, and most GOP state house leaders in key battleground states have not acquiesced to his demands so far. Furthermore, time has effectively run out for the Trump campaign sinceHowever, Ward pointed to the overall mood among Trump's base as a more pressing issue.
She told The Times that were she to come out and say she would not sign a letter drafted by Republicans in the lower chamber — which calls for Pennsylvania's congressional delegation to reject the state's electoral votes for President-elect Joe Biden — she would face the wrath of Trump's most fervent supporters.
Under trump we have become a bananna republic. Sooner he is out, the better.
