"VELSHI: This what do you make of this business about nationalizing elections? Every every day Donald Trump sort of says it differently and then some Republicans say they don't like it, and the White House walks it back. But he is talking about not not changing our entire election system, just changing it in some places. He mentioned Detroit and Philadelphia and Atlanta. I wonder what they all have in common. It's dangerous talk. One can laugh about it, but it's really dangerous talk."
"JEFFRIES: It's dangerous talk. It unsettles the American people, and it should. Listen, Donald Trump understands that if there is a free and fair election in November, and we're going to make sure there is one, that the House is lost, Democrats are going to take back control of the House of Representatives. And the Senate is looking increasingly shaky as well, because the American people are rejecting this extremism."
Donald Trump repeatedly advocated nationalizing elections, saying Republicans should take over contests in about 15 states and naming Detroit, Philadelphia, and Atlanta. He doubled down in the Oval Office and in television interviews when pressed to explain his remarks. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries labeled the rhetoric dangerous and said it unsettles the American people. Jeffries said a free and fair November election would cost Republicans the House and put the Senate at risk, argued Republicans have failed on the economy, health care, and immigration, and said Democrats have adopted an all‑hands‑on‑deck approach to ensure the American people decide control of Congress.
