"During an appearance on former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino's podcast, Trump recycled some of his baseless elections claims saying he won states that were actually won by President Joe Biden in 2020 or Vice President Kamala Harris in 2024, for example to argue that Republicans needed to be tougher on election fraud. The Republicans should say, We want to take over, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places,' said Trump. The Republicans oughta nationalize the voting."
"After playing the Bongino clip, Bash criticized Trump's claim about illegal immigrants voting as not true, citing a 2024 audit of Georgia's voter rolls that reviewed 8 million registered voters and found only 20 who were not citizens, and only nine out of 8 million had actually voted. This was an important issue, Bash continued, and it was necessary to not just pay attention to the fantastical things that this president says, but also watch the actions of his administration."
President Donald Trump called for a federal takeover of elections during an appearance on Dan Bongino's podcast, repeating baseless claims that he won states actually carried by Joe Biden in 2020 or Kamala Harris in 2024. He urged Republicans to take over voting in at least 15 places and to nationalize voting. CNN anchor Dana Bash reacted with horror, calling such a move a constitutional violation and urging viewers to take his comments seriously as the midterms approach. Bash cited a 2024 Georgia audit that reviewed 8 million registrants and found only 20 noncitizens, with just nine having voted. Democrats, watchdogs, and non-MAGA Republicans criticized the proposal.
