Senator Markey claims SAVE America Act is Trump’s plan to hijack midterms

During the closing debate of the Massachusetts Senate primary, Ed Markey asserted that Donald Trump’s push for the SAVE America Act is intended to “steal” the November midterm elections by imposing stricter voter-ID rules. He urged impeachment of Trump, labeling the president a constitutional crisis, and emphasized the need for Democratic control of Congress to hold Trump, his family, and associates accountable from January 1.

Markey’s remarks echo broader Democratic concerns about Trump’s potential challenges to election results after his recent televised address on election integrity. He pointed out that even if the Senate passed the House-approved bill, procedural and timing obstacles would likely block its implementation before the 2026 elections. The debate also highlighted Markey’s lead over fellow Democrat Seth Moulton in a recent one outlet-Suffolk University poll, showing 52% support to Moulton’s 38%.
