New Trump act may lead to total GOP takeover of elections: 'Most important news out there' [View all]

Donald Trump's administration just took an action that "hints" about future ambitions for a total electoral takeover by Republicans, a former federal prosecutor said Thursday.

It was recently reported that the FBI and DNI Secretary Tulsi Gabbard swarmed an election field office in Georgia, purportedly to investigate the 2020 election in which Joe Biden defeated the incumbent Trump. Trump has long held that he won that election, which he says was "rigged" against him despite him being president at the time, so there has been a lot of speculation about what he might hope to accomplish with that raid.

According to ex-prosecutor Joyce Vance, "the Fulton County search warrant and its implications for the 2026 and future elections is the most important news out there right now and not getting the coverage it merits."
