"[Democrats] keep going on TV and making up wild conspiracy theories about how Trump is going to steal the elections."

"No. I don’t believe [martial law] will happen."

“The circumstances within which presidents have invoked martial law and that the Supreme Court has understood martial law are incredibly narrow.”

"None of these moves means that the administration will succeed in meddling with elections this November, in 2026, or in 2028."

“If the Trump White House tried to declare some fake national emergency to create a pretense for federal intervention, I will force a vote here in the Senate to stop it.”

“Our elections have faced an elevated level of risk for some time and now there’s one additional factor that’s going to exacerbate all the other risks, which is a weaponized federal government that might be deployed in ways that can disrupt or interfere in free and fair elections.”

"[Trump's] words and actions strongly suggest he may use the formidable powers of the presidency—and possibly even the armed forces—to resist 2026 electoral results he dislikes.”

"Many of the outlandish schemes he considered to stay in power in 2020—such as using the military to seize voting machines in battleground states—don’t seem as far-fetched today."

"[Trump would] exercise some emergency powers to protect the federal elections going forward.”

“What in the world does that pattern lead to? It leads to the further erosion of our trust in our elections that might justify his ability to determine that there’s an emergency and cancel the 2026 elections.”
