Trump wants to take over voting. Mike Johnson is willing to help
By Marc Elias, Democracy Docket
Donald Trump has made it clear that he would like to cancel the midterm elections. He wished he had seized ballot boxes after he lost the 2020 presidential election. He has made clear that he would like the Department of Justice to operate as an extension of his political will. He said we should cancel the midterms.
Recently, Trump raised the threat to the 2026 midterm elections to an entirely new level. Speaking to former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino on his podcast, Trump revealed a new wrinkle in his plan: He wants Republicans to take over voting in Democratic-run states and cities.
