Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee Ā® on Wednesday said 2024 will be the last election ā€œdecided by ballots rather than bulletsā€ if former President Trump doesnā€™t win the presidential race because of his various legal battles.

In the latest episode of his show on TBN, Huckabee argued the legal woes now facing Trump are part of a politically motivated scheme from the Biden administration, an argument touted by many in the former presidentā€™s orbit.

ā€œIf these tactics end up working to keep Trump from winning or even running in 2024, it is going to be the last American election that will be decided by ballots rather than bullets,ā€ Huckabee warned in his opening monologue.

Huckabee accused President Biden and his team of trying ā€œto make sure that Donald Trump is not his opponent in 2024ā€³ and ā€œto destroy Trump in the courthouse rather than at the ballot box.ā€ He also alleged the Justice Department, the IRS and the FBI are ā€œconspiring to hide the Biden family crimes, while all the time being obsessed with charging Donald Trump with crimes.ā€

    And in your opinion, does the 14th amendment of the Constitution prohibiting individuals who engaged in seditious acts against our democracy from holding office count as a ā€œbackdoor disqualificationā€?

      It does if itā€™s Congress deciding that the seditious acts happened instead of a criminal court convicting him of it, which is part of whatā€™s being discussed.
