20:06Now PlayingLegal scholar Michael Waldman, president of the Brennan Center for Justice, discusses a concerning new report detailing coordinated efforts by the Trump administration to undermine U.S. elections, particularly the upcoming 2026 midterms. Waldman outlines a broad campaign involving attempts at extreme gerrymandering, purging election officials, rewriting election rules through misleading executive orders, and demanding access to sensitive voter data. He emphasizes that these moves represent an unprecedented use of the federal government to interfere in elections and threaten democracy itself. Waldman also highlights the critical need for national standards, including anti-gerrymandering legislation and protections for election integrity, and stresses the importance of public vigilance, state and local election official support, and judicial accountability to safeguard the electoral process.
