Trump told podcast host Dan Bongino that he wants Republicans to, quote, take over the voting.
Election experts say that would be very hard, if not impossible.
The Constitution clearly gives states and Congress, not the president, the right to conduct elections.
But experts worry that Trump could undermine the vote.
He's commandeered voter records in 11 states already and could move to disqualify certain voters.
Ever since 2016, Trump has said he would only honor the results of elections his side wins.
That's what January 6th was all about.
For months, President Trump and Republicans in Congress said the government should not extend expiring Obamacare subsidies.
But now, as a promised December vote on the tax credits nears, Trump may be reversing his position.
He is reportedly considering a plan to extend the subsidies for two years with an income cap
even though it's not clear that Republicans in Congress would go along with that.
And the president himself said on Tuesday that he would rather not extend the subsidies, but, quote, some kind of extension may be necessary.
More than 20 million people benefit from the Obamacare tax credits to help them afford health insurance.
President Trump has tried and failed to get rid of Obamacare altogether.
But the program has proved tough to uproot.
