Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle condemned President Trump’s call to nationalize U.S. elections as a dangerous stepping stone after he said Republicans should “take over” their administration.

Trump’s comments came on the heels of Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard’s presence during the execution of a search warrant in which the FBI seized ballots in Fulton County, Ga., that were cast during the 2020 election.

Democrats have expressed alarm over the idea, while GOP allies have dismissed Trump’s call for grabbing a power reserved to the states.

Trump made the remarks during an interview Monday with former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino, who left the bureau early last month to return to his podcast.
