Republicans aren't walking back anything. They are losing the ability to keep Trump on script.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This is it exactly. More and more he's sounding like the Trump we heard from January 2nd, 2021 asking Brad Raffensperger to "find" exactly the amount of votes needed to overturn the Georgia election results.
They are telling him to STFU. They want to be able to do it in secret but he keeps spilling the beans
And still nothing will be done to stop it
Dementia is a hell of a thing, ain't it, Donnie?
he's so fucking terrified. absolute pants-shitting coward loser
Especially given that he once again is calling for America to "move on" from the Epstein files... I find it a bit weird there is nothing about that here on Lemmy
Trump is senile enough to no longer be constrained even by his own handlers.
“Wait did you order that last one?”
“No, he shat his pants on his own”
He isn't calling for the federal government to nationalize the vote, he's calling for the Republican Party to nationalize the vote.
They get it right in the opening of the article but not the headline.
Is this a hint that they already bought the election voting machines?
Not really. More that they're trying to influence state officials (who actually run elections in the US) into doing their bidding.
He is afraid that a free and democratic vote will end his reign, and potentially put him behind bars. He can't afford the luxury of democracy with that prospect.
Say it with your full chest, cowards.
