Key Points:
- Michael Steele criticized Donald Trump for entertaining the idea of declaring a national emergency to influence the upcoming midterm elections, calling it "simplistic stupidity" and constitutionally incorrect.
- Trump responded to suggestions of taking over elections if the SAVE America Act fails by saying, "stranger things have happened," which Steele warned signals a dangerous path toward election manipulation.
- Steele highlighted Trump's ongoing baseless claims of the 2020 election being stolen and his efforts to rig future elections, including attempts to invoke the Insurrection Act to potentially control the voting process.
- The former RNC chair noted Trump's installation of election deniers in key DOJ positions, efforts to change election laws unilaterally, and attempts to restrict mail-in voting despite his own use of the method.
- Steele warned that these actions set the stage for Trump to redesign elections to his advantage, posing a significant threat to democratic processes ahead of 2024.
