It WOULD seem that Trump IS STILL trying to deal with 2020 Presidential Election loss to Joe Biden….
You know?
The one he tried to steal anyways?
President Trump on Friday shrugged off reports that he could consider declaring a national emergency around the midterm elections.
“Who told you that?” Trump told reporters, when asked about the possibility.
“No,” he said when asked if he was looking at the idea. “I’ve never heard about it.”
The Washington Post reported this week that pro-Trump activists who claimed to be in coordination with the White House were circulating a drafted executive order aimed at giving the president more power over the upcoming elections.
According to the Post, the draft order would use the claim that China interfered in the 2020 elections as a basis for declaring an emergency. The report cites Florida lawyer Peter Ticktin, who said he’s had “certain coordination” with White House officials on the matter — while the White House declined to comment on Trump’s plans to the outlet.
Trump has long denied his 2020 election loss and has continued to claim the race was rigged against him.
Trump has, however, been pressing Congress to approve the House-passed Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and voter ID to cast ballots.
The president has indicated that, if the Senate does not pass the legislation, he will issue an executive order seeking to impose the same plan for this fall’s high-stakes elections.
“There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!” Trump wrote on Truth Social earlier this month…..
Note….
The Federal Government does NOT run national elections….
States do….
Trump’s voter ID push IS gonna end up in Federal court…
