Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez made an unfounded prediction that should Donald Trump win the November election, he would move to “jail” her.
“I mean, it sounds nuts, but I wouldn’t be surprised if this guy threw me in jail,” she told Kara Swisher on her podcast On with Kara Swisher. “He’s out of his mind. I mean, he did his whole first campaign around ‘lock her up.’ This is his motto.”
She didn’t say what charges she would face under a Trump administration or why she believed Trump would bother with her other than to claim, without any basis, that would “round up people.”
For the record, in a recent interview with Fox News’ Sean Hannity, Trump said he absolutely had no intention of seeking “retribution” and that he wanted to try to legitimately unite as much of the country as possible.
Biden and Trump are essentially deadlocked with independent voters, with Biden securing 50 percent and Trump 48 percent. Both candidates are backed by 94 percent of their own party’s supporters and 5 percent from the opposing party.
Trump supporters are more enthusiastic than Biden supporters. Out of Biden backers, 69 percent say their support for him is very strong and have “decided” he is their candidate. In comparison, 78 percent of Trump voters have very strong support for the 45th president and have “decided” they will vote for him.
Approximately 25% of Biden supporters have strong support and are unlikely to switch their allegiance, while an additional 4% say they might still change their minds, and 2% expect to change their minds at some point.
Among Trump supporters who have not yet decided, 18% have strong support for him and are unlikely to change their minds, while 4% have somewhat strong support but might still switch candidates.
