Mike Pompeo Warns of Potential Rivals in 2024 Presidential Election, Pushes Baseless Claims of Voter Fraud in 2020 Election.

Former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has claimed that the United States experienced a “peaceful transition of power” on January 6th, 2021, despite the violence that took place on that day. Pompeo made the statement during an interview with Sky News journalist Rigby, in which he discussed his new book, which barely mentions the insurrection or former President Donald Trump’s efforts to undo the election.

Pompeo argued that the transition of power was peaceful, and blamed the violent turn of events on the building’s security officials. He also warned that Trump might refuse to endorse the party’s nominee if he loses his primary race in the 2024 presidential election. This veiled threat is seen as an attempt to stigmatize potential rivals in the eyes of Republican primary voters, similar to his successful 2016 caricaturing of rivals.

The former president’s warning comes as he escalates efforts to try to scare off or damage potential party rivals who are maneuvering ahead of their own possible campaign launches as a so-far-sleepy GOP contest bursts into life. Pompeo argued that his book is focused on how the United States delivered security abroad, as he was the Secretary of State and the CIA director.

The statement from Pompeo is seen as a warning to potential rivals in the 2024 presidential election, as he continues to push baseless claims of voter fraud in the 2020 presidential election. It is unclear what the future holds for the Republican party, as Trump continues to make veiled threats and push his own agenda.
