Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) told a group at Washington DC bookstore Politics and Prose that it is up to Congress to disqualify Donald Trump from the election 2024 on January 6, 2025. The comments came before the Supreme Court ruled that states could not take Trump off the ticket in the election using the 14th Amendment.
Raskin suggested that if SCOTUS rejected the case against Trump, that the responsibility to disqualify Trump from the election would fall to Congress. The comments from Raskin came during the group meeting in February, per Legal Insurrection: "The court is not going to save us. And so that means the only thing that really works is people in motion amending the Constitution — but again, it’s necessary, but it’s not sufficient, because what can be put in the Constitution can slip away from you very quickly."
