Trump won't rule out Insurrection Act ahead of midterms
Original: Trump refuses to rule out Insurrection Act or national emergency for midterms Trump said in an interview published Thurs
Donald Trump said in an interview published Thursday that he has not ruled out invoking the Insurrection Act or declaring a national emergency around the November midterm elections. "I'm not committing to..." he said, leaving open extraordinary measures. The remarks are drawing attention over concerns about the use of presidential emergency powers in the run-up to a national vote.
Why now: Trump's refusal to rule out extraordinary emergency powers ahead of the November midterms raises concerns about election-year use of presidential authority.
