LOADINGERROR LOADING

Former Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.) said Americans must now “acknowledge that Donald Trump knows our country better than we do” following his decisive 2024 election victory over Democratic rival Kamala Harris.

The president-elect “figured out that anger and, frankly, fear were way more powerful than appealing to people’s better angels,” McCaskill lamented on Wednesday’s broadcast of MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

“That anger and fear were going to work in this election, whether you’re afraid of immigrants or afraid of people who are trans, he figured that out,” she continued. “And I think we all thought everyone’s better angels would prevail. Turns out the better angels went on vacation when Donald Trump came down the escalator and they haven’t returned.”

“The majority of America believes he was persecuted, not prosecuted,” McCaskill added, referencing Trump’s multiple legal woes ― which will likely go away once he is in the White House ― and the 34 felony convictions from his hush money case.
