Democratic Representative Jamie Raskin has called on his party to pay close attention to any foreign governments providing assistance to President Donald Trump. Raskin made the remarks during a recent conversation on the podcast "Pod Save America," where he argued that Democrats should be "keeping score" of nations that appear to be aiding Trump's political efforts.
Raskin emphasized the importance of understanding the nature and extent of foreign influence in U.S. elections. He suggested that documenting instances of foreign support would provide valuable insight into potential vulnerabilities and inform future policy decisions.
"We need to be very clear about which countries are interfering and in what ways," Raskin stated. "It's not just about past elections; it's about ongoing efforts to undermine our democracy. We need to hold these nations accountable."
The comments come amid heightened scrutiny of foreign involvement in American politics, particularly following allegations of Russian interference in previous elections. Raskin's call to action highlights the continued concerns among some Democrats about the potential for foreign actors to influence U.S. political outcomes.
