Trump has said that the United States shouldn’t have midterm elections this year because midterm voters often vote against the president’s party. Democratic congressional leaders have said they expect Trump to disrupt and dispute the midterms.

“It’s some deep psychological thing, but when you win the presidency, you don’t win the midterms,” Trump told Reuters in a recent interview. He then boasted that his presidency had accomplished so much that “when you think about it, we shouldn’t even have an election.”

Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) told the Associated Press that Democrats are concerned that Trump will try to prevent open and fair midterm elections.

    Biden and Merrick Garland sure as fuck didn’t.

    Not a single charge brought in four years.

    Trump literally could have been in a prison cell on November 6 as Harris won in a fucking landslide against some rando dickhole neocon.

    And even today oligarch-loving Democrat leadership won’t even consider abolishing ICE if they win.
