Fears Trump will ‘really do anything to win’ midterm elections

Donald Trump Elissa Slotkin
  • Senator Elissa Slotkin expressed concern that President Trump might deploy troops to seize ballots or interfere with midterm elections.
  • Her apprehension follows President Trump's recent address, where he alleged "cover-ups" and "vulnerability" within the U.S. electoral system.
  • Slotkin introduced the "Protect Our Polls Act" to prohibit uniformed military or federal law enforcement, including the FBI and ICE, from handling voting machines, ballots, or securing polling stations.
  • President Trump recently claimed China orchestrated the "largest compromise of election data in history" in 2020, an allegation denied by the Chinese embassy.
  • Major news networks, including CNN , ABC , and NBC , opted not to broadcast President Trump's July 16 speech, citing his documented history of making false statements about elections.
