Trump’s remarkable statement against states’ rights | CNN Politics
Politics • 4 min readTrump’s remarkable statement against states’ rights
Analysis byAaron Blake, Aug 18, 2025 President Donald Trump in the Oval Office on Thursday. Alex Brandon / AP / FilePresident Donald Trump’s announcement Monday that he will sign an executive order aimed at getting rid of mail-in ballots and voting machines seems unlikely to amount to much. He doesn’t appear to have any such authority, and legal challenges would surely follow.
But it was instructive in one way: It made clear the president elected to lead the party of states’ rights has very little regard for states’ rights.
Indeed, he almost seems to disdain them.
It’s difficult to read his comments any other way, especially as he has spent much of his second term attempting to chip away at states’ rights — or at least, the ones he doesn’t like.
While selling his new pitch to get rid of mail-in voting and voting machines, Trump included this remarkable pair of sentences.
“Remember, the States are merely an ‘agent’ for the Federal Government in counting and tabulating the votes,” the president wrote on Truth Social. “They must do what the Federal Government, as represented by the President of the United States, tells them, FOR THE GOOD OF OUR COUNTRY, to do.”
Trump has described the states as “agents” of the federal government before in this context, but without casting them as subservient to him personally.
This is a rather novel take on the Constitution, to put it mildly.
As CNN’s Daniel Dale notes, the Constitution says the “Times, Places and Manner of holding Elections … shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof.” Congress has a role, in that the Constitution says it can “make or alter such Regulations.” But there is no role for the president.
