How Trump Could Threaten the 2026 Election

Former Attorney General Eric Holder on the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act and whether the 2026 midterm elections will be free and fair

How Trump Could Threaten the 2026 Election

In the recent state visit by Chinese President Xi Jinping to the United States, President Trump's behavior during the dinner was a source of embarrassment for the United States, as he seemed to suck up to the Chinese leader, which raised concerns about the isolation of the U.S. in its rivalry with China. Former Attorney General Eric Holder discussed the dismantling of the Voting Rights Act, the battle over gerrymandering, and the uncertain state of the 2026 midterm elections.
