Donald Trump has been accused of preparing to undermine the 2026 US midterm elections through a coordinated campaign of disinformation and legal challenges, according to people familiar with the plans.
Strategy to cast doubt
The former president is said to be assembling a team of allies to challenge voting procedures in key battleground states, mirroring efforts after the 2020 election. Critics warn this could erode public confidence in the electoral process.
Election officials in several states have expressed concern about potential disruptions, including lawsuits over mail-in ballots and voter ID laws.
Democratic response
Democratic leaders have vowed to counter any efforts to delegitimize the results, with some calling for increased funding for election security. The Republican National Committee has not commented on the reports.
