Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Trump Urges Republicans to 'Nationalize' Elections
Caption: Trump Urges Republicans to ‘Nationalize’ Elections. President Donald Trump called on Republicans to “nationalize” elections, reviving unfounded claims of widespread voter fraud in the 2020 presidential race. Speaking on a podcast hosted by former FBI official Dan Bongino, Trump suggested Republicans should “take over the voting” in multiple parts of the country. The proposal runs counter to the U.S. Constitution, which gives states primary authority over running elections. Trump again insisted, without evidence, that he won the 2020 election “in a landslide,” despite multiple court rulings, audits and recounts confirming Joe Biden’s victory. His remarks followed an FBI raid on an elections office in Fulton County, Georgia, tied to records from the 2020 vote, which Trump hinted could reveal new developments. Trump has intensified attacks on the 2020 election in recent months, vowing prosecutions and backing lawsuits seeking access to state voter registration rolls. He previously promised to issue an executive order to bring “honesty” to future elections, though no such order has been signed. Legal experts note that Trump has not explained how federal control of elections could be implemented within constitutional limits.
