Trump Accuses Schumer of 2026 Election Interference as Democrats Launch New Task Force
3 articles · Updated · Fox News · May 11
Trump said Schumer’s new Senate Democratic “free and fair elections” task force is designed to suppress Republican voters and vowed a bigger GOP “Election Integrity Army” for the 2026 midterms.
Schumer cast the task force as a response to what Democrats call a broad Trump effort to tilt the fall elections, citing potential DOJ and DHS actions, First Amendment threats and law-enforcement activity at polling places.
The clash comes after Republicans failed last month to pass the SAVE America Act when 4 GOP senators joined Democrats; Trump has pushed the bill’s voter ID, proof-of-citizenship and voter-roll sharing provisions.
The fight is widening as Republicans defend their congressional majorities, Democrats target control of the House and Senate, and a recent Supreme Court redistricting ruling is expected to intensify map battles nationwide.
