Trump signaled openness to declaring a national security emergency to take over U.S. elections after a far-right host urged the move, a suggestion he did not disavow. The piece notes the Constitution vests election authority in states and Congress, and that past Trump executive actions were blocked by courts. It also highlights rising election-conspiracy rhetoric as midterm talk intensifies.
