Trump's Call to Nationalize Elections Sparks Concerns

President Donald Trump said Monday that he would like to see Republicans nationalize elections, after claiming immigrants had been brought in to alter results and widespread fraud had taken place in states including Georgia.

Speaking to Dan Bongino, who recently left his role as deputy director at the FBI, Trump said he felt voting was corrupt in the U.S. and power needed to be taken away from the states, seemingly seeking to go against the Constitution.

"The Republicans should say, 'We want to take over. We should take over the voting in at least 15 places.' The Republicans ought to nationalize the voting," Trump said on The Dan Bongino Show.

The comments sparked criticism from Democrats and Republicans, with Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer describing the proposal as "outlandishly illegal".
