Joy Reid Floats a Conspiracy Theory About Trump Rigging the 2026 Midterms and Staying in Power Forever

Reid Whenever Democrats say ░░░░░░░░ me You know this ░░░░░░░░ the reason we have ░░░░░░░░ coalesce for 2026 I ░░░░░░░░ add to the end ░░░░░░░░ their sentence to the ░░░░░░░░ of that sentence Yeah ░░░░░░░░ we actually have free ░░░░░░░░ fair elections I think ░░░░░░░░ s insane honestly to ░░░░░░░░ assume we re gonna ░░░░░░░░ normal elections next year ░░░░░░░░ don t assume that ░░░░░░░░ these Republicans let me ░░░░░░░░ you an example 16 ░░░░░░░░ Republicans okay wrote a ░░░░░░░░ wrote down and sign ░░░░░░░░ names and signatures saying ░░░░░░░░ this big billionaire bail ░░░░░░░░ bullsh t bill is ░░░░░░░░ hurt their Ali That ░░░░░░░░ exactly how you should ░░░░░░░░ it Reid Yeah it ░░░░░░░░ is gonna hurt their ░░░░░░░░ constituents They said it ░░░░░░░░ wrote it down They ░░░░░░░░ This bill is an ░░░░░░░░ It s going to ░░░░░░░░ our people And then ░░░░░░░░ but one of them ░░░░░░░░ for it anyway Voted ░░░░░░░░ it anyway The only ░░░░░░░░ who didn t vote ░░░░░░░░ it it s not ░░░░░░░░ as if he was ░░░░░░░░ enough to vote no ░░░░░░░░ just didn t vote ░░░░░░░░ all So what you ░░░░░░░░ you had Murkowski Lisa ░░░░░░░░ who admitted that this ░░░░░░░░ is gonna gut the ░░░░░░░░ heavily it s one ░░░░░░░░ the top five states ░░░░░░░░ the number of Medicaid ░░░░░░░░ is Alaska Louisiana s ░░░░░░░░ one West Virginia is ░░░░░░░░ there as well But ░░░░░░░░ is way up there ░░░░░░░░ admitted this was gonna ░░░░░░░░ her people tried to ░░░░░░░░ a fix for them ░░░░░░░░ t get it and ░░░░░░░░ voted for it So ░░░░░░░░ you re seeing is ░░░░░░░░ what that tells me ░░░░░░░░ that they re not ░░░░░░░░ worried about getting reelected ░░░░░░░░ they feared being re ░░░░░░░░ they would not vote ░░░░░░░░ this bill because they ░░░░░░░░ it s going to ░░░░░░░░ their states mainly rural ░░░░░░░░ states are gonna get ░░░░░░░░ New York will try ░░░░░░░░ take care of its ░░░░░░░░ Maryland California blue states ░░░░░░░░ will try to take ░░░░░░░░ of their poor They ░░░░░░░░ t let their poor ░░░░░░░░ the way that they ░░░░░░░░ in red states Louisiana ░░░░░░░░ they re gonna get ░░░░░░░░ red states To me ░░░░░░░░ fact that Republicans are ░░░░░░░░ voting for the bill ░░░░░░░░ me that they re ░░░░░░░░ actually worried about being ░░░░░░░░ elected The way Trump ░░░░░░░░ behaving he s not ░░░░░░░░ like somebody who worries ░░░░░░░░ his party will lose ░░░░░░░░ or that even if ░░░░░░░░ party even if somehow ░░░░░░░░ had normal elections and ░░░░░░░░ took control of either ░░░░░░░░ of you know the ░░░░░░░░ or the Senate he ░░░░░░░░ not acting like somebody ░░░░░░░░ s worried about the ░░░░░░░░ of that This is ░░░░░░░░ who is behaving as ░░░░░░░░ autocrat because they don ░░░░░░░░ anymore believe he said ░░░░░░░░ during the election I ░░░░░░░░ t need your votes ░░░░░░░░ And he doesn t ░░░░░░░░ don t think Trump ░░░░░░░░ to leave office I ░░░░░░░░ very clear about that ░░░░░░░░ think he intends to ░░░░░░░░ in office like Putin ░░░░░░░░ he dies like Bukele ░░░░░░░░ done blown past their ░░░░░░░░ limits Bukele should be ░░░░░░░░ already He s still ░░░░░░░░ I think he s ░░░░░░░░ try to pull an ░░░░░░░░ pull all of these ░░░░░░░░ Jinping He s going ░░░░░░░░ do that because he ░░░░░░░░ making so much money ░░░░░░░░ the grift is so ░░░░░░░░ he s not going ░░░░░░░░ leave and let all ░░░░░░░░ money go And I ░░░░░░░░ the Republicans are presuming ░░░░░░░░ they re gonna put ░░░░░░░░ restrictions in place that ░░░░░░░░ can t be voted ░░░░░░░░ So I think it ░░░░░░░░ gonna take an extraordinary ░░░░░░░░ to get rid of ░░░░░░░░
