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.

I dunno, Biden performed better than expected and he’s a sleepy old guy. Is trump saying he’s no better than a sleepy old guy?
Better than expected? You expected less than 40 pc approval for 3 years, then forcing an unwinnable candidate and strategy for make or break 24 elections?
Just, wow. No wonder “we” lost. You are as delusional as republicans clearly nothing will free you from your influencers leading you astray.
Popular reform is the only path out of the abyss, and it is so much more of a trecherous path now than 2024.
I meant to say better than statistically expected, but thanks for the eval.
I mean he sleeps all the time and also on camera.
Gosh, if only we’d known what he was like before all this happened.
I’m sure trump is going to call for the mid-terms elections to be cancelled. We’ll still have them, but it will give cover for gerrymandered red-states to reduce their efforts to make voting available and visible to their citizen.
If the elections go south for Republicans, I fully expect Mike Johnson to play games with allowing Democrats to be sworn in and seated in Congress. We really need to be preparing for both of these scenarios.
He will declare that Dems cheated everywhere they win, and if the House tries anything, he will declare they are traitors and declare state of emergency claiming absolute power (or whatever other made up shit).
Time to count who sides with whom in the military…
The military has already taken Trump’s side, and are gladly following his illegal orders to murder Venezuelan fishermen and kidnap their president.
it will give cover for gerrymandered red-states to reduce their efforts to make voting available and visible to their citizen.
I think you’re absolutely right, as it draws near we will get a steadily increasing narrative how elections are rigged, there’s massive corruption in voting systems (the paper is chinese!) and many other distracting nonsense claims.
But what they have overreached on over and over again is they are broadly very stupid people, and they can’t grasp the scale of this country and the people. I’m sure there will be election shenanigans but I doubt it will be enough to turn the tide. If they try to cancel any elections outright, while people are this tense and ready to riot, there will be widescale violence. Which the administration may want, but no town mayors or state governors want. The states still hold the cards here.
Wow it’s almost as though midterms represent some kind of check and balance. Trump and the republicans stand a good chance of being wiped out.
Shouldn’t have a felonious, rapist, racist, seditious, stochastic terrorist pedophile as president either, but here we are.
Yesterday he joked about it. Today he says it. Tomorrow he does it.
He wasn’t joking.
Well, he said you’d only need to vote the one time.
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
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?
Yeah, we really really need the Democratic Party to do better.
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.
“Democracy” is too close to “Democrat” in his pee brain and kinda short-circuits.
Correct. He conflates political asylum with mental asylum. He’s unbelievably unfathomably dumb.
He also defunded transgenic experiments on mice because he thought the mice were getting gender reassignment surgery
If someone tried to be stupid, they couldn’t be a dumb as Donald Trump
I’ve always seen it written as “pea-brain,” but I like this a lot more. I’m gonna be the change I wanna see in the world!
Pee brain.
I’m not sure that’s even a typo so i’m leaving it.
Trump says anything he thinks will keep him on top.
I really don’t give a fuck what this asshole wants.
His very existence in that office is illegal and immoral.
He did say you wont have to vote again.
Third or fourth time he’s said this, at least twice recently.
Fuck off Shitler. I’m gonna vote even harder now!
(dark pen and a very assertive shove into the dropbox)
Did America vote against the president in the last midterms? I seem to remember MAGA wanted a red wave and got sweet fuck all.
Republicans WON the house. That is not a victory for democrats, losing by less, in the house at that, majority rule.
Democrats never win the house or senate, the republicans lose it as people mostly vote against them not for democrats. Until you fix that, all energy in politics is ultimately futile. New Deal or republican rule.
And it might be too late already, because you all trusted the establishment to know what they are doing. Still believing their reason for being is winning elections, when it is preventing popular reform.
Dickless tater.
