If Republicans are to protect their slim congressional majorities, they are going to have to effectively counter the Democrats’ cheating in the upcoming midterm elections, and President Donald J. Trump is taking the bull by the horns.
Trump pledged that there will be a “bigger and stronger” version of the “election integrity army” that the GOP fielded in 2024, an election that he decisively won in part because the Democrats’ usual chicanery was put in check with a beefed-up on-the-ground presence.
In a Sunday post to Truth Social, the president reacted to Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY), who announced the creation of a new “elections task force” spearheaded by former Attorney General Eric Holder and election lawfare specialist Marc Elias to identify any and all threats to our upcoming elections.”
Trump says Republicans will deploy an “Election Integrity Army” in every state for the midterms “to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote,” adding it will be “much bigger and stronger” than in 2024

“Palestinian Chuck Schumer is hiring Eric Holder, famous for handing guns to Mexican cartels under the Barack Hussein Obama administration, as part of a Democrat-led ‘Election Integrity Group’ that will no doubt try to suppress Republican voters, and interfere in our Elections. Furthermore, Marc Elias, a terrible lawyer with a horrible track record, is also involved,” Trump wrote, noting that Elias “was responsible for the fake Russia dossier” during the 2016 election.
“The Democrats are totally unhinged, and we will not allow them to threaten the integrity of our Elections,” the president vowed.
“During my Historic Election in 2024, when I won every single Swing State, and decisively won both the Electoral and Popular votes by wide margins, the Republicans had an Election Integrity Army in every single State to preserve the sanctity of each legal vote. We will be doing the same again in 2026, but it will be much bigger and stronger. All Americans should have their voices be heard by casting a vote. Be assured this Election will be fair!” Trump concluded.
BREAKING: @SenateDems just launched our Election Fraud Task Force—the most aggressive and coordinated election protection effort in history.
With top election law experts, we’ll identify threats, fight voter suppression efforts, & defend the right to vote ahead of the midterms.

“Democrats aren’t going to sit back and hope for the best. We’re acting early and at scale—launching the largest election protection effort in the country—to expose these schemes, stop voter suppression, and make sure the American people—not politicians—decide our elections,” Schumer said in an April 29 statement announcing the creation of the Democrat task force.
“Our nation is confronting the most serious threats to voting rights since the Jim Crow Era. The aggressive, unabashed pursuit of power at the expense of individual rights comes from the highest level of government and animates the Republican Party. Just this past year, we have seen sustained efforts from Trump and his MAGA sycophants to undermine fair elections and rig the midterms through gerrymandered maps,” Holder, aka “Obama’s wingman,” said, predictably playing the race card.
“Trump’s latest attack on me is as unhinged as ever. I wear his scorn as a badge of honor,” Elias said in a Sunday post to X, responding to the president’s public calling him out.
