President Donald Trump has refused to rule out deploying federalized National Guard soldiers or ICE agents to voting sites in Democratic areas for the November midterm elections, stating he would do "anything necessary to make sure we have honest elections."
Election Integrity Army Plans
Trump announced plans for a large "Election Integrity Army" to be deployed to every state for the 2026 midterms, claiming a similar effort secured his 2024 election win over Kamala Harris. He continues to make debunked claims that his 2020 election loss was due to fraud and suggests that his party can only lose through Democratic misconduct.
Executive Actions and Allegations
Trump has signed an executive order attempting to restrict mail-in ballot voting and has demanded federal voter ID laws, citing unsubstantiated allegations of fraud. Following a Democratic victory in a Virginia referendum, Trump falsely alleged a "RIGGED ELECTION" on Truth Social, despite no evidence of irregularities or fraud.
