"President Donald Trump told the New York Times that he regretted not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines following the 2020 presidential election so that he could overturn the election, which he continues to baselessly claim was rigged. Trump sat with the Times last week for a lengthy interview, which the paper continued to report on throughout the weekend. In a Sunday report, Times journalists Alan Feuer and Ashley Ahn detailed Trump's remarks about seizing the voting machines and his 2020 efforts to actually do so."
"Well, I should have, he said. Asked whether using the military to impound voting machines had been a viable option, the president questioned the sophistication of the National Guard. I don't know that they are sophisticated enough, he said. You know, they're good warriors. I'm not sure that they're sophisticated enough in the ways of crooked Democrats, and the way they cheat, to figure that out."
Donald Trump expressed regret for not ordering the National Guard to seize voting machines after the 2020 presidential election in an effort to overturn the results he claims were rigged. Trump pressed then-Attorney General Bill Barr and personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani about whether seizing machines was possible. Bill Barr rejected Department of Justice involvement, and Rudy Giuliani was rebuffed by the Department of Homeland Security. The plan did not move forward. Trump questioned whether National Guard personnel were "sophisticated enough" to detect alleged cheating. Critics voiced concern about potential disruptions to the 2026 midterm elections and ongoing gerrymandering efforts.
