WASHINGTON ¨C President Donald Trump¡¯s call for Republicans to ¡°nationalize¡± elections drew pushback on Tuesday from lawmakers, including from a few Republicans, as Democrats voiced fresh concern that he intends to interfere with the November midterms that will determine control of Congress.
In a podcast interview with former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino released on Monday, Trump repeated his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him and said his party should ¡°take over¡± and ¡°nationalize¡± voting in at least 15 places, without detailing what he meant.
