Mother Jones editor David Corn this week travelled to Donald Trump's rally in Reading, Pennsylvania, where he spoke with many of the former president's supporters about how they would react if he came up short in his third White House bid.
The supporters who spoke with Corn universally said that there was no way that Trump could legitimately lose the 2024 presidential election, and some of them even predicted violence should Vice President Kamala Harris be declared the winner.
"So if he doesn't win, what do you think the reaction's going to be?" Corn asked one supporter at the rally.
"Civil riot, civil war," the supporter replied.
"Are you going to be part of that?" asked Corn.
"Yeah, absolutely," the Trump supporter replied.
"In what way?" Corn enquired.
"I'm not talking anymore!" the Trump supporter said and then fled the scene.

A different Trump supporter, who told Corn that he'd spent time in jail for illegally entering the United States Capitol building on January 6th, 2021, also predicted mass violence should Trump be denied yet again.
"Will there be another January 6th?" Corn asked.
"It probably would be worse," the man said. "It would probably be ten times worse."

Happy Election Day. I was at one of Trump's final rallies, and die-hard Trump supporters told me that they will not accept a Harris win as legitimate and that if Trump is declared the loser we can expect violence. Here's my report from Pennsylvania:pic.twitter.com/eWOGhncico
