Trump Urges Republicans to 'Nationalize' Elections After FBI Georgia Search

The call escalates a federal–state clash over who runs U.S. elections.

Overview

  • On a conservative podcast, the president said Republicans should take control of voting in at least 15 places and push to nationalize the process.
  • He again alleged massive 2020 fraud and claimed immigrants voted illegally, assertions repeatedly rejected by courts and experts.
  • The FBI executed a court‑authorized search at Fulton County’s election offices, seizing 2020 ballots and records, and Georgia officials say they will file a federal lawsuit challenging the raid.
  • Reporting says Tulsi Gabbard met agents involved in the search and put Trump on speakerphone with them during a call.
  • Trump has pursued federal changes to voting rules, including an executive order on proof of citizenship and late mail ballots, though judges have blocked parts of it as the 2026 midterms approach.
