Donald Trump has announced a plan to cancel the midterm elections, fearing Republican losses and his own potential impeachment after
EXCLUSIVE REPORT: Sources Claim Trump, Fearing Impeachment, Explored Plan to Cancel Midterm Elections In a revelation that strikes at the heart of American democratic norms, multiple sources close to former President Donald Trump have informed this publication that he has, in recent weeks, privately discussed and directed allies to explore a contingency plan with a singular, shocking goal: to cancel or indefinitely delay the 2022 midterm elections.
According to these sources, who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the discussions, this unprecedented consideration is driven by two intertwined fears. First, by a grim internal consensus among Trump’s political advisers that Republicans are poised to suffer significant losses in November. Second, and more critically, by Trump’s own conviction that such losses would immediately trigger a new, and this time politically viable, impeachment process against him in a Democrat-controlled House of Representatives.
The Genesis of a “Doomsday” Scenario The discussions, described by one insider as “doomsday planning,” are said to have intensified following a series of pessimistic election forecasts and internal polling. Trump has reportedly grown increasingly agitated by public analyses suggesting a “red wave” is faltering, blaming candidate quality and leadership within the Senate GOP. “His logic, as he’s expressed it, is brutally simple,” said a former campaign official still in contact with Trump’s inner circle. “If they lose, the Democrats gavel in a new House in January and their first order of business will be impeaching him for January 6th, or the Mar-a-Lago documents, or whatever else they can. In his mind, the only way to stop that chain of events is to stop the election that enables it.” A Plan With No Legal Roadmap The practical and constitutional hurdles to such a move are, experts unanimously agree, insurmountable. The President of the United States possesses no authority to cancel federal elections, which are administered by the states under a framework set by Congress. The fixed terms of Congress are enshrined in the Constitution. Yet, sources say, Trump has shown little interest in these legal realities. Instead, he has reportedly tasked a small group of outside loyalists—operatives and lawyers who have championed theories of expansive executive power—with devising a rationale and a strategy. The explored avenues, sources indicate, involve declaring a national emergency, leveraging unfounded claims of “election integrity” concerns on a mass scale, or attempting to mobilize Republican-controlled state legislatures to refuse to certify results or send representatives, thereby plunging the process into chaos. “This isn’t about finding a real legal path, because one doesn’t exist,” explained Dr. Eleanor Vance, a constitutional scholar at Georgetown University. “This is about creating enough confusion, pressure, and crisis that the normal functioning of government is paralyzed. It’s a gambit rooted in disruption, not statute.” Echoes of 2020 and a Chilling Escalation The reported plan represents a dramatic and chilling escalation of Trump’s efforts to subvert electoral outcomes he dislikes. While the 2020 post-election campaign focused on overturning a result after the fact, this new tactic would seek to preempt the vote itself. “This moves us from ‘stop the steal’ to ‘stop the election,'” said Mark Gable, a Republican strategist who has broken with Trump. “It’s crossing a line many of us believed was uncrossable. It’s no longer about contesting votes; it’s about denying the very mechanism of democratic accountability.”
