"What Donald Trump wants to do is try and nationalize the election translation: steal it. And we're not going to let it happen, Jeffries said during an appearance on CNN's State of the Union. He added that Democrats so far had successfully blocked Trump's efforts to federalize the national guard countered a nationwide push by Republicans to redraw congressional district boundaries to their advantage. This is going to be a free and fair election, Jeffries said."
"The Trump administration for months has been sowing doubt about the integrity of this year's midterm elections by filing lawsuits against states suggesting they are improperly maintaining their voter rolls. The FBI also undertook an unprecedented raid of the election office in Fulton county, Georgia, last month, seizing ballots and other voter information related to the 2020 election. Allegations of fraud have been debunked repeatedly in Fulton county, yet Trump has continued to repeat false claims about the county."
Hakeem Jeffries said Democrats will stop Donald Trump from trying to nationalize and steal this year's midterm elections and will block efforts to federalize voting. The US Constitution gives states the power to set election rules and limits presidential authority over how elections are run. Democrats have reportedly blocked attempts to federalize the National Guard and countered Republican efforts to redraw congressional districts. The Trump administration has filed lawsuits alleging improper voter roll maintenance and repeated debunked fraud claims. The FBI seized ballots and voter information in a Fulton County election office raid. Jeffries condemned Trump's refusal to apologize for a racist Truth Social post depicting the Obamas as apes.
