Flailing Trump is now 'desperate' as bid to steal congressional seats flops: expert

President Donald Trump's new effort to seize control of election infrastructure from states is more than a pursuit of his 2020 conspiracy theories, election lawyer and Democracy Docket founder Marc Elias warned MS NOW's Nicolle Wallace on Wednesday — it's a "desperate" reaction to his fear of losing the midterms, and his frustration that his pressure campaign to get Republican states to redraw congressional maps to give him extra seats backfired on him.
"Marc Elias, let me bring you in on this," said Wallace. "This is a playbook you and I have been talking about and covering really for years now, since before Donald Trump was elected a second time. But Chairman Rob Pitts again at this press conference, suggesting that he and other major Georgia figures would be arrested."
"Look, I've been sounding the alarm about the risks that Donald Trump faced to democracy since I was a general counsel to Hillary Clinton's campaign," said Elias. "You and I did a lot of television sounding the alarm before the 2020 election and what we saw afterwards. And I am here to sound a larger and louder alarm today than I ever have before."
