President Donald Trump has long flirted with dispatching federal forces to polling sites as part of a broader and oftentimes martial emphasis on election security. Now, with the 2026 midterms just months away and Democrats looking increasingly likely to make major (perhaps even chamber-flipping) gains in November, party figures are starting to take Trump’s threats seriously. As blue state attorneys general coordinate with one another and Senate Democrats convene high-level strategy sessions, is the party ready to face the White House’s increasingly brazen electoral saber-rattling?
An alternative to panicking for Democrats is to deal with two words mentioned nowhere in the article:
AIPAC and Israel
The omission, given the genocide, is rather conspicuous. And the Democrats’ way to success is clear. That is, if they take a stand against genocide and foreign interference.
