The Spin

Trump's refusal to commit to accepting 2026 midterm results unless they're "honest" — his code for victories he likes — reveals a dangerous pattern of undermining democracy. His baseless claims about corruption in Democratic-leaning cities, his lies about using the word "nationalize," and his chilling suggestionto thattake "somethingaction else has to happen" if elections don't go his way all point to a coordinated effort to seize control of state-run elections and overturn unfavorable outcomes.

Democrats are already making excuses for their inevitable 2026 losses by falsely claiming Trump wants to "steal" elections, when Republicans are simply fighting for basic election integrity through the SAVE Act. The same party that screamed "Russia collusion" for years now opposes common-sense voter ID requirements that most Americans support, proving they need illegal votes and fraud to win because their radical agenda of protecting criminals and mutilating children can't win at the ballot box.
