'Start suing now!' Trump demands RNC focus on election challenges

Donald Trump called on the Republican National Committee to drop its focus on presidential debates and focus on preemptive 2024 election challenges.

The former president attacked Pennsylvania Gov. Josh Shapiro for implementing automatic voter registration, joining 23 other states with varying models of streamlined processes for adding voters to the rolls, and warned the move was intended to hurt Republican candidates -- especially him.

"Pennsylvania is at it again!" Trump posted on his Truth Social website. "The Radical Left Governor, Josh Shapiro, has just announced a switch to Automatic Voter Registration, a disaster for the Election of Republicans, including your favorite President, ME!"

"This is a totally Unconstitutional Act, and must be met harshly by Republican Leadership in Washington and Pennsylvania," Trump added. "Likewise, the RNC, and Ronna McDaniel, must spend their time working on this, instead of meaningless Debates where I am up by more than 50 points. Pennsylvania, Michigan, Georgia, Arizona, Wisconsin, and others, are far more important than 'Aida,' Sloppy Chris, Lyin’ Mike Pence, Nikki 'Birdbrain' Haley, Ron ('Dead Campaign') DeSanctimonious, and the others. Start suing now, & get the right lawyers this time! The Pennsylvania Republican Party must likewise not let this happen. It will be a disaster for our Nation, which is being destroyed by these Lunatics, Marxists, & Fascists, whose only real ability is to CHEAT on Elections. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!"
