Trump Demands Republicans 'Nationalize' Voting, But Not the KFCs
KEY POINTS
- •Donald Trump urged Republicans on Dan Bongino's podcast Monday to 'nationalize voting' in at least 15 unspecified locations.
- •Trump insisted that the GOP should assert control, saying, 'The Republicans should say, we want to take over.'
- •Meanwhile, a $5 billion funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security moved to the House floor for debate.
On a Monday episode of ex-FBI deputy Dan Bongino’s podcast—because where else would democracy go to die?—Donald Trump called on Republicans to 'nationalize the voting' in 'at least 15 places,' though he didn't reveal which ones, possibly hoping they include his golf courses. He boldly proclaimed, 'The Republicans should say, we want to take over,' sounding less like a political plan and more like a cautionary tale from a heist movie. All this while a $5 billion funding package for the Department of Homeland Security was headed to the House, which ironically handles elections, too. Keep your eyes peeled; democracy’s about to get a plot twist that even Netflix wouldn’t greenlight.

If you’re wondering where to nationalize voting, just check Trump’s vacation spots—he didn’t say which ones for a reason.
Imagine calling a podcast to announce you want to commandeer democracy like it’s a Starbucks franchise rollout.
