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.
So the reason he’s come up with is literally just he thinks he’ll lose?
That’s a very good reason for there to be an election, Donny
“Democracy” is too close to “Democrat” in his pee brain and kinda short-circuits.
I’m not sure that’s even a typo so i’m leaving it.
Correct. He conflates political asylum with mental asylum. He’s unbelievably unfathomably dumb.
No way. The dem votera will just find another distraction/ excuse to sit it out and he’ll get his third term. Calling it now.
DeM bAd
He’ll get his third term in the midterm election?
If they sit it out again, whos gonna stop him?
By definition, midterm elections are not Presidential elections. Trump’s third term, if he had one, would start in 2029 after an election in 2028.
If the voters dont help the opposition make gains and the republicans (read: trump) retain control of congress and the senate, whats to stop him/ them from changing the rules and locking him in come 2028? Seriously? You people dont see the importance of this midterm vote in the longer tern, and want to argue about definitions? He even said he’d do it. Remind you of any previous elections?
You didn’t make your thoughts at all clear in previous comments.
Well the Democrats really need to do a better job then.
