‘When You Think of It, We Shouldn’t Even Have an Election’
President Trump has expressed his desire to prevent a potential Republican defeat in the 2026 midterm elections, suggesting that the federal government should intervene in state-administered elections. Trump has made repeated claims of unlimited power and has taken actions to expand federal control over election processes.
President Trump is warning that he will do all he can to prevent a humiliating Republican defeat in the 2026 midterm elections. In a Reuters interview, Trump claimed that his presidency has been so successful that 'when you think of it, we shouldn’t even have an election.' Trump's comments align with his repeated assertions of unlimited power. He has expanded the mandate of the federal Joint Terrorism Task Force to include investigating 'domestic terrorism' and has overseen the seizure of ballots and federal attempts to access voting machines and voter lists. Republicans are expected to lose control of the House, and the likelihood of a Democratic takeover of the Senate is 50 percent or better. Trump has suggested that the federal government should intervene in state-administered elections, claiming that states are 'agents of the federal government to count the votes.' Trump's National Security Presidential Memorandum 7 grants federal agencies a license to label certain activities as threats, potentially staving off defeat.
