Michael Luttig's warning in The New Republic that Republicans could try to deny seating Democrats after the 2026 midterms, potentially triggering a constitutional crisis involving the House clerk, the courts, and possibly the Supreme Court; she also notes related pressures from USPS ballot issues, DOJ letters to election officials, and rising white-nationalist sentiment among some younger GOP staff, arguing Republicans must defend democracy over loyalty to Trump.
