MAGA insiders urge Trump to consider martial law if midterms appear rigged
Prominent MAGA figures, including election activist Tina Peters, have pressed Donald Trump to contemplate martial law should the November midterms be deemed fraudulent.
MAGA operatives are reportedly urging Donald Trump to entertain the possibility of imposing martial law if the November midterm elections are judged to be fraudulent. Tina Peters, a high-profile election activist convicted in 2024 for offenses linked to election-equipment interference, met with Trump in October and earlier visited the White House with attorney Peter Ticktin in June. Peters received a sentence commutation this year from Colorado Governor Jared Polis.
The push for such extreme actions reflects growing alarm among Trump’s allies about potential election irregularities. No official response from Trump has been recorded. The discussion underscores the heightened tension surrounding the upcoming midterms.
