Trump says U.S. shouldn't have midterm elections
cross-posted from: https://pawb.social/post/38120921
Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.
“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.

Watch as its exactly how it will work. He will send ICE to voting booths if that what it will take.

Anyone ever hear of The Wilmington Insurrection? In which they had armed gunman guarding the polls who killed any black men who showed up to Vote, leading to a Democratic (Mind you this was before the Parties flipped) majority in what was normally a diehard Republican town.
Imagine that but it’s ICE

Why not? Seems like what he says, goes now. Who’s going to stop him?

America will stop him, judging by the record turnouts at the No Kings protests.
