The notion of “nationalizing” elections, as purportedly suggested by Donald Trump, has drawn a pointed rebuke from Senator Rand Paul, who firmly asserts that such a concept is fundamentally at odds with the principles enshrined in the U.S. Constitution.

The recent release of more documents pertaining to Jeffrey Epstein has certainly stirred up a lot of conversation, and it seems former President Trump is suggesting it’s time to let the matter rest. He’s reportedly stated that the country should move on from the Epstein files, shifting focus to other issues like healthcare, which he claims people care more about.
