Trump pushes to nationalize voting, challenging state election powers

Former President Donald Trump told a right‑wing podcast that Republicans should nationalize voting, claiming a power he says is granted to the federal government—despite the Constitution designating the states, not the federal government, the authority to run elections. He repeated false claims that the 2020 election was stolen and urged Republicans to “take over” elections and nationalize the process, arguing for federal control over the times, places, and manner of voting.
