Trump Floats Cancelling 2026 Elections, Then Insists He Won't

4 months ago

President Trump suggested canceling future U.S. elections but later claimed it was a critique of Democrats.
Trump made these remarks during a speech to House Republicans, also discussing midterm elections and impeachment concerns.
He falsely claimed the 2020 election was 'rigged,' repeating debunked allegations of voter fraud.
Federal law does not allow a president to cancel or postpone elections, which are managed by states and Congress.
Trump has previously floated delaying elections, including the 2020 election and praising Ukraine's election ban under martial law.
His comments coincided with the anniversary of the Jan. 6 Capitol attack, which he still falsely links to election fraud.
