Biden has issued a stark warning that Trump is gearing up to undermine the 2026 midterm elections, with mounting signs pointing to potential interference. During an uncommon public event in South Carolina on Friday, the 83-year-old ex-president claimed Trump is erecting obstacles to voting access, recognizing he can't secure a fair victory. Biden described the nation as enduring "dark times" and emphasized that the battle for the country's core values remains ongoing.
This isn't mere exaggeration—events are unfolding that support his concerns.
On Truth Social, Trump openly stated there "will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not," vowing to sidestep legislative approval via executive action. Experts in law argue this violates the Constitution outright, especially since a federal court previously struck down his similar unilateral efforts to alter voting procedures permanently.
Meanwhile, the House-approved SAVE Act would mandate proof-of-citizenship documents, such as passports or birth certificates, for voter registration—in a nation where less than half the population holds a current passport.
Democrats are raising red flags about the possibility of Trump sending ICE personnel and National Guard units to monitor polling sites come November.
This comes amid Trump's approval rating languishing at just 39%, with 61% of Americans expressing disapproval. Unable to prevail on policy alone, he's apparently tilting the scales in his favor.
