Greene: Trump may use Iran as excuse to cancel presidential election

Greene said Trump is normalizing the idea that war could justify canceling elections, citing his past remarks on voting during conflict.

  • On Thursday, Former Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene told Alex Jones she fears President Donald Trump could use the ongoing Iran war to cancel the 2028 presidential election.
  • Greene pointed to an August 2025 Oval Office meeting where Trump asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky about suspending wartime elections, telling him: "three-and-a-half years from now, if we happen to be at war with someone, no more elections."
  • Addressing the constitutionality of the claims, Greene stated: "There cannot be a third term, no. That's against our law, that's against the Constitution," arguing the president repeats remarks to normalize the idea.
  • Launched in February by Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the Iran conflict has split MAGA media pundits over their support for the ongoing war.
  • Greene, who resigned from the House in January, noted Trump previously sold "TRUMP 2028" hats and claimed he was "entitled" to an unconstitutional third term, citing Democratic "cheating like hell" in 2020.
