Trump urges Republicans to 'nationalize' elections
Los Angeles Times
|February 03, 2026
President Trump said Monday that the federal government should “nationalize” elections, repeating — without evidence — his long-running claim that U.S. elections are beset by widespread fraud.
MIKE STEWART Associated Press THE FBI loaded 2020 ballots onto trucks at the election headquarters in Fulton County, Ga., on Wednesday.
Speaking on a podcast hosted by former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, Trump said Republicans should “take over the voting inat least 15 places,” alleging that voting irregularities in what he called “crooked states” are hurting the GOP.
“The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting,” Trump said.
The proposal would clash with the Constitution's longstanding framework that grants states primary authority over election administration, and underscored Trump’s continued efforts to upend voting rules ahead of this year’s midterm elections.
Trump, for example, lamented that Republicans have not been “tougher” on the issue, again asserting without evidence that he lost the 2020 election because undocumented immigrants voted illegally for Democrats.
