Hey there, it's the NPR Politics Podcast.
I'm Ashley Lopez.
I cover politics.
I'm Miles Parks.
I cover voting.
And I'm Domenico Montanaro, senior political editor and correspondent.
And today on the show,
President Trump continues to suggest the federal government should take more or maybe complete ownership of how elections are run.
Just last night, he wrote on social media, quote,

We are either going to fix them or we won't have a country any longer.
End quote.
So I want to talk about this.
Miles, I want to start with you.
So,
Trump has teased steps that he could potentially take to give the federal government more control over elections.
