President Trump said in an interview published Thursday that he has not ruled out invoking the Insurrection Act or declaring a national emergency around the midterm elections in November.

"I'm not committing to anything," Trump said in an interview with Time when asked about the limits of his presidential power. "We're going to see how it plays out in court."

The outlet reported that White House advisers have already thought about how to respond if Democrats reclaim either or both the House and the Senate. One official said the administration will "be forced to think more bipartisan."

"Trump, however, has warned that if Democrats reclaim either chamber, they will attempt to impeach him for a third time. He dismissed unfavorable polling for him and other Republicans as being fake."

8/10 that Trump makes an aggressive move against outr elections if he sees it not going his way.
