Ben Shapiro Lays Out ‘Worst Case Scenario’ Where Trump Wins On SCOTUS Challenge

Daily Wire editor-in-chief Ben Shapiro laid out a wild, “worst case scenario” where former President Donald Trump could win the 2024 Election on a Supreme Court challenge.

Last week, the U.S. Census Bureau quietly announced that an “error” will skew Congressional and electoral proportionment and could play a crucial role in the 2024 presidential election. The Census Bureau acknowledged that 14 states had significant miscounts in the 2020 census, primarily in the way of overcounting in blue states and undercounting in red states.

Overcounted states include Rhode Island, Hawaii, Delaware,  Minnesota, Massachusetts and New York, all of which voted for President Biden in 2020. With the exception of Minnesota — which is highly likely to go to Democrats once again — all of the overcounted states are essentially “locks” for Kamala Harris.

As for the undercounted states, the Census Bureau’s errors affected Texas, Illinois, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas. With the exception of Illinois, these states are all projected to go for Donald Trump in 2024.

If Kamala Harris is able to secure Nebraska’s second Congressional district and sweep the “blue wall” states of Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, she would win the election by two electoral votes, 270-268.

During a recent appearance on the Full Send Podcast, Shapiro laid out the “worst case scenario” where Harris does indeed secure 270 votes, forcing the Trump-Vance Campaign to file a Supreme Court challenge.

“Since we live in a timeline in which God clearly hates us, we may as well assume this will be the reality. So here’s the worst case scenario. In 2020, there was a census. That census was done wrong. Okay, that census radically over-counted states like New York, Delaware, I believe Michigan, and it radically under-counted states like Florida and Texas. Like this has been openly acknowledged by the Census Bureau,” he explained. 

When asked for clarification, Shapiro explained that since the Census Bureau has no way of counting every single American citizen — and illegal immigrants, which count towards apportionment  — Census numbers are calculated through samples. “So in 2020, they acknowledged like afterward, they’re widespread. I mean, the government acknowledged that they’d gotten the census wrong. The problem is how do you apportion congressional seats and electoral votes? You know, based on the census, right? So theoretically Florida should have two more electoral votes. New York should have one fewer and Delaware should have one fewer,” he said.

“So here’s your worst case scenario. Your worst case scenario is Donald Trump wins at North Carolina, Georgia, Arizona, Nevada. Okay, if he wins those and he loses Wisconsin, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, the final electoral college tally is Kamala Harris 270, Donald Trump 268. Now, now you have the state of Florida say, ‘guys, you f***ed up the census. The census is that we should have two more electoral college votes,'” Shapiro continued.

“‘And you failed to, and you acknowledge this, you know this. So you need to rejig it. We’ve now been damaged, we now have standing. This election really should be Donald Trump 270, Kamala Harris 268, based on the population shifts in the country.’ That goes to the Supreme Court. Now you have a Supreme Court in which six of the justices were appointed by Republicans, including three by Donald Trump, deciding whether the electoral college count should be reversed based on the census failure.”

Shapiro concluded by noting that former President Trump is leading in Arizona, Georgia and North Carolina both in terms of early voting and polling averages, leaving a decent chance of the nightmare scenario playing out.
