The Trump administration is discussing potential executive orders related to voting ahead of the midterm elections, officials familiar with the matter told The Wall Street Journal.

The talks come as Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard has spent months reexamining the results of the 2020 election that President Donald Trump lost, a priority for the White House, officials told the outlet.

That effort took Gabbard to Georgia this week, where FBI agents searched a county election office as part of a federal investigation tied to the 2020 vote. Democrats and election experts have criticized the initiative, noting that multiple reviews have found no evidence of widespread fraud in the presidential election won by Democrat Joe Biden. Newsweek reached out to the White House and Gabbard's office via email on Thursday afternoon for comment.

Why It Matters

Trump has long claimed that the 2020 election was stolen from him, leading to investigations by the Biden administration into his alleged attempts to overthrow the results, which were later dropped. Over five years on from the hotly contested election, the president is still pushing the idea that he won, despite having returned to the White House in 2025.

1. So the "Director of National Intelligence", while Russia attacks Ukraine, the US bombs Iran,

there's a constant threat of China attacking Taiwan, and her own president decides to attack Venezuela, plus all the other things going on - Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Gaza, DRC ... - spends her time trying to manufacture evidence inside her own country that 5 years ago, her boss didn't lose an election, but was the victim of a grand conspiracy.

In a normal world, it'd be impeachable.

2. Where in the Constitution does it grant powers over elections to the executive?

3. let me guess, he will demand that only white male property owners will be allowed to vote. nt

7. Or he'll declare

the Democratic Party a terrorist organization and not allow any candidate who isn't a Republican to show up on any ballot....also, no one who has ever been a declared Democrat can vote.

Think it can't happen?

[Javaman]

8. I think absolutely it's possible

I've been saying since he was first reselected that I doubt we will have midterms.

I still hold steady to that belief.

[Bettie]

9. If he does that, he takes care of his

"congress problem" too, because all Democrats are no longer legal members of congress, so he just gets to pass whatever the fuck he wants to with only Republicans being "legal".

I remember when it would have sounded like crazy talk. Now? Not so much. We have a genocidal asshole running our government. No, not the orange asshole, Stephen Miller.

4. The Media Keep Using The Term "Widespread Fraud," AS THOUGH THERE WAS....

SOME OF NOTE, JUST NOT "WIDESPREAD."

THE TERM IS "NO DEMOCRATIC FRAUD."

If this statistical analysis is TL;DR, then please at least read the final section (4 paragraphs):

5. Yes...

that bothers me too. It should just say that there was no voter fraud.

The Trump charges of voter fraud should have been ignored by the media. They were the same as his "they are eating dogs and cats" claim. The rantings of a lunatic.

11. At Least That Claim Led To This Gem!........

6. How stupid.

When does our illustrious media point out that Trump is bonkers and NO ONE should listen to a word the psychopath says.

[Bettie]

10. Never

his party owns the media.
