Former Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene said she is worried that President Donald Trump will use the war in Iran to try to cancel the 2028 presidential election.
Not only that, but he literally has no authority to do it. Elections are a STATE process, and he has no say in it. If a state decides to defy whatever method he uses to deny elections, there’s nothing he can do about it. What if every Blue state just had their elections anyway?
And this assumes that even Red states would go along with it. There are plenty of ambitious Republicans who can only move up if they can get elected, so they want elections, too. People are going to resign, retire, quit, die, go to jail, etc., and those offices need to be filled, and that takes elections.
Unless he tries to cancel JUST the Presidential election. That would take a special kind of stupid, but Trump never lets us down in that department.
