Former Rep. Adam Kinzinger (R-Ill.) said in a recent interview that he is worried about the upcoming presidential election because former President Trump “learned” the political system’s weaknesses in 2020.

“The problem is now, Trump and the Trump-type folks have learned where the weaknesses are in the system,” Kinzinger said on The Bulwark podcast on Tuesday.

    He will be elected president through cheating, gerrymandering, and anything they can try

    I’m not from the US, but doesn’t gerrymandering have no impact whatsoever on the presidential election? Only on the House, maybe on the Senate.

    Gerrymandering is a big problem, but conflating it with other issues just detracts from your points.

      You’re right, but it does have a secondary impact when it can determine control of congress and the state legislatures. Remember, states control their individual voting processes for President, and there’s plenty of ways for them to “cheat” legally or otherwise.

      You are correct I was mostly adding that because that aids in their ability to steal power away from the majority. I guess I could have just said cheating as that is a good blanket term for what they do.
