Murphy: "What if 2024 comes down to just one state? It’s a lot easier to steal just one state…what if these same people who support the Texas lawsuit decide there’s no way they won our state so let’s just throw out the result and choose a Republican?"
Murphy: "If that happens our country isn't a democracy. The American experiment is over. That's why this moment is so frightening no matter whether it's successful...that's why more than a handful of Republicans need to stand up right now"
"Don't just assume this system is going to be around for another 200 years...it's just a series of choices that we make. The Constitution itself is not strong enough, not durable enough, without all of us making a choice ...that we accept a result," Murphy adds
Caught up with Murphy after his speech on the Texas lawsuit just now. He says the GOP has become "infected."
