Trump Calls for Republicans to Take Over Elections
Following the FBI’s seizure of 700 boxes of 2020 election records in Fulton County, Georgia, President Trump urged Republicans to “nationalize the voting” in at least 15 locations, fueling concerns about potential interference in upcoming elections. Trump suggested the Georgia raid was a precursor to his administration’s plan to exert control over state and local election processes to maintain power, especially as GOP popularity wanes. The article highlights unanswered questions about the Georgia raid, including the timeline and the involvement of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in domestic law enforcement, further pointing to an erosion of democratic norms and increasingly radical tactics by the GOP.
