Trump faces ‘difficult proposition’ to find top legal talent for 2024 election challenges

Published September 17, 2024 7:00am ET



Legal fights over election integrity are well underway with less than two months to go to the election. This Washington Examiner series, Legal Games, will look at Democratic attempts to make sure they don’t have a repeat of 2016. Republican lawyers, meanwhile, are still spooked by what happened in the aftermath of 2020. Part 2 will look at the chilling effect of Democratic lawfare on Republican election lawyers.

As former President Donald Trump openly plans to bring 2024 election challenges in states where the results are close, he faces a major problem: whether he’ll have the legal talent to back him the way he did four years ago.
