Trump Wants Republicans to 'Nationalize' US Elections

Former President Trump calls for Republicans to "nationalize" US elections, a radical shift from state control to a centralized federal system for voting.

  • ▸WASHINGTON – Former President Donald Trump has called for a fundamental reshaping of the American electoral system, stating in a recent interview that he wants Republicans to "nationalize" the nation's elections. The declaration signals a significant strategic pivot and injects a new level of volatility into the political landscape, raising profound questions for the constitutional framework that has governed the U.S. for over two centuries and introducing a major new risk factor for economic and market stability.
  • ▸Centralization vs. Decentralization: The U.S. system is intentionally decentralized. Over 10,000 election jurisdictions, primarily at the county level, are responsible for administering elections according to rules set by their respective state legislatures. Nationalization would strip this authority, consolidating power within the federal government.
