Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) is once again sounding alarms ahead of a major election\u2014this time warning that Republicans aligned with Donald Trump could attempt to manipulate voting systems in the 2026 midterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In a sit-down interview with MSNBC\u2019s Ali Vitali, the former House Speaker\u2014long one of Trump\u2019s most vocal critics\u2014predicted Democratic success in the upcoming elections but cautioned supporters to stay vigilant against what she suggested could be underhanded GOP tactics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cThere are so many things that you can do to protect the election, and they are being done, whether it\u2019s litigation or legislation or just mobilization, communication, all of that. But in addition to that, we have to be on guard as to what they may try to do to the technology. They may try to creep into the technology and create a false count,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Pelosi, who has spent years opposing Trump and his political movement, framed her concerns as part of a broader battle over the integrity of American democracy. She has consistently accused Trump and his allies of undermining democratic norms\u2014particularly following the 2020 election\u2014and her latest comments reflect that ongoing distrust.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her remarks come as Democrats continue to push back against Republican-led redistricting efforts and the SAVE Act, a GOP-backed bill that would require stricter voter identification. While the legislation has passed the House, it faces steep odds in the Senate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pelosi didn\u2019t hold back in her assessment of Republicans\u2019 motivations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cPelosi accused Republicans of having \u2018no commitment to the rule of law and doing things the appropriate way.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Despite her warnings, Pelosi struck a confident tone about Democratic prospects, outlining what she sees as the party\u2019s core mission heading into the midterms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cWe have three purposes now. One is to win the midterm. Two is to make sure the elections are safe. And three, tell people what we will do when we win. That is the mission,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
The longtime Democratic leader also reflected on the party\u2019s future, predicting that a woman will eventually become president\u2014though she does not expect to see it herself. She credited Vice President Kamala Harris with energizing voters during the 2024 election cycle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n\u201cShe turned out so many more people than who would have voted,\u201d Pelosi said.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
