MAGA allies urge Trump to consider martial law over election integrity claims

Axios reports that MAGA activists, including convicted election equipment breach figure Tina Peters, are publicly urging President Trump to consider extraordinary measures such as martial law if midterm elections are perceived as rigged. The proposals exceed Trump's legal authority and lack evidence of rigging, but the advocates have close access to the president. This signals potential escalation in pre-election rhetoric and raises concerns about democratic norms.
