Trump floats canceling 2026 midterms at House Republican retreat

At a House Republican retreat at the Kennedy Center, President Donald Trump suggests canceling the 2026 midterm elections, then quickly walks back the framing. He states: \"I won't say, 'Cancel the election.' They should cancel the election, because the fake news would say, He wants the elections canceled. He's a dictator.\" This rhetoric continues his pattern of questioning election necessity.
