Far-right stokes fears of 'nightmare' Democratic midterm sweep to push for election takeover

The lies: A nefarious plot to remove President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance from office. Assassinating MAGA supporters. Reshaping the United States into a complete communist country.

Over the past week, prominent far-right figures and influential election deniers have escalated their rhetoric about what will happen if Democrats emerge victorious in this fall’s midterms.

The alarming statements — buoyed by recent primary victories by progressive candidates in California, New York, Washington, D.C. and elsewhere — raise concerns that conservative figures with close ties to the president may be using their connections to push the Trump administration to take drastic measures to interfere in November’s elections.

Former Trump senior advisor Steve Bannon, who now hosts a popular daily podcast, devoted Wednesday’s episode to fallout from this week’s primary elections, where progressive candidates backed by Mayor Zohran Mamdani (D) in New York City all won.

Bannon warned that, come November, voters will have to choose between Republican candidates or a Democratic party that he claimed will assassinate MAGA supporters.

“The other path is going to be a combination of Mangione and Mamdani,” Bannon said, referring to Luigi Mangione, the 29-year-old data engineer accused of killing a healthcare CEO. “They’re going to line you up and shoot you, which they will.”
