Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison is facing scrutiny after warning that Americans should prepare to take to the streets if President Donald Trump and Republicans attempt to undermine the 2026 midterm elections. His remarks, made during an appearance with progressive podcaster Dean Obeidallah, are drawing attention as the country approaches another high-stakes election.
Ellison did more than voice concerns about election integrity. He urged listeners to prepare for public demonstrations and indicated that he would personally participate if he believed voters’ rights were being threatened.
The comments raise questions about how political leaders should discuss election legitimacy before ballots are cast and results are known.
