Democratic Sen. Schiff says Trump intends to 'subvert' 2026 midterm elections
Schiff cites Trump’s false 2020 claims and declining approval as motives for election interference amid FBI raids and legislative efforts to alter voting rules.
- Sen. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., told ABC News' "This Week" on Feb. 8, 2026 that President Donald Trump intends to try to overturn the 2026 midterm results, saying, `he's prepared to try to take some kind of action to overturn the result.'
- Recent law-enforcement action and rhetoric include the FBI's Jan. 28 raid on a Fulton County election office, with Trump claiming the 2020 election was stolen, Schiff said.
- Polling and legal changes suggest Republicans in Congress back the SAVE America Act requiring passport or birth certificate verification, excluding driver's licenses, while a Quinnipiac University poll last week showed Trump's approval at 37% with 56% disapproving.
- Schiff urged mobilization, saying he does not trust Republicans in Congress and called for the largest American voters turnout to prevent overturning, warning, `We cannot ignore what they're telling us they're going to do...'.
- Public-Opinion data show 83% of U.S. adults support requiring a photo ID, providing context for debates over stricter voting rules Schiff discussed.
