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.

Gosh, if only we’d known what he was like before all this happened.
Liberals are pathetic, jeez.
Jeez. Forget going mask-off. This asshole just did the equivalent of walking in the room naked.
It’s like that airplane interview when Lindsay Graham is like “we gotta help the people of venuezala”, then Trump goes straight back to rambling about oil when Lindsay is trying to smooth trumps deranged babbling over.
He’s a terrible liar, has no idea how to cover things properly.
No one’s ever held him accountable, why should he get better if it’s been working the whole time?
He already said before that if the Republicans lose the mid terms, and they would, they will, he would be jailed
He’s right
And he will be.
They’d need a two thirds majority in the senate to convict him after impeachment.
No chance. Repub seats are gerrymandered to shit, and while he’s unpopular he’s still more popular than dems in quite a lot of those seats
Much as I’d love for that to happen, assuming there are free and fair elections at all: I have a feeling the first words out of the Democratic leadership after winning will be “it’s time for healing and to move forward” (or words to that effect)
Chuck Schummer had already basically bent over for them multiple times.
All of this is one big convoluted effort to stay out of jail while inflicting as much fear and pain as possible.
Democrats are concerned. Ahh yes, just concerned. The silence from Dems has been disgusting
Democrats love having trump. They can lower thier standards lower then ever and they feel the voters will be forced to vote for them. Being forced to vote for someone sound like democracy to you?
Normally I would link electoral reform videos, but that time has passed.
Don’t worry, Democrat leadership is furiously working on how they could support the fascists.
But but but they’ll ban insider trading for members if Congress any day now…they promised!
I vote we throw Shitler, the turd Reich and every politician who takes money from Israel into a woodchipper and start over
US shouldn’t have a president
Let AIPAC control America directly instead of via a puppet president and Congress.
Krasnov can go fuck himself. Where are the damn Epstein Files?
Some people escaped dictatorships… only to end up here… 🫠
So many colored people voted for this orange turd, it’s fucking maddening.
Same, for every woman that voted for this child rapist deserves their heads examined.
People vote for a well known rapist and then are surprised when their country gets fucked.
I’m sure trump is going to call for the mid-terms elections to be cancelled. We’ll still have them, but it will give cover for gerrymandered red-states to reduce their efforts to make voting available and visible to their citizen.
If the elections go south for Republicans, I fully expect Mike Johnson to play games with allowing Democrats to be sworn in and seated in Congress. We really need to be preparing for both of these scenarios.
He will declare that Dems cheated everywhere they win, and if the House tries anything, he will declare they are traitors and declare state of emergency claiming absolute power (or whatever other made up shit).
Time to count who sides with whom in the military…
The military has already taken Trump’s side, and are gladly following his illegal orders to murder Venezuelan fishermen and kidnap their president.
it will give cover for gerrymandered red-states to reduce their efforts to make voting available and visible to their citizen.
I think you’re absolutely right, as it draws near we will get a steadily increasing narrative how elections are rigged, there’s massive corruption in voting systems (the paper is chinese!) and many other distracting nonsense claims.
But what they have overreached on over and over again is they are broadly very stupid people, and they can’t grasp the scale of this country and the people. I’m sure there will be election shenanigans but I doubt it will be enough to turn the tide. If they try to cancel any elections outright, while people are this tense and ready to riot, there will be widescale violence. Which the administration may want, but no town mayors or state governors want. The states still hold the cards here.
Dickless tater.
“Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party.”
Yeah, that’s why it’s called VOTING.
but 90 million didn’t vote at all.
Trump says a lot of stupid shit.
Trump says a lot of stupid shit.
You misspelled “is”.
He did say you wont have to vote again.
Dear Trump, we should have midterm elections. In fact, there’s gonna be a midterm election held this year. As someone wise once said, “screw you, make me”. Sincerely, Dilly.
