In a statement from the Oval Office on Tuesday, former U.S. President Donald Trump advocated for increased federal involvement in the administration of elections, which are traditionally managed by state and local authorities.
Trump's remarks come as he reiterates his unfounded allegations of election fraud, a topic that has fueled considerable debate and division in American political circles.
The suggestion to shift electoral oversight to the federal level is poised to reignite discussions on the balance of power between federal and state governance, a contentious issue in the lead-up to future elections.
