Former Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene suggested that President Trump could use a manufactured crisis to cancel the upcoming midterm elections. The Georgia Republican responded to speculation from conservative podcaster Shannon Joy, who questioned whether Trump might declare a 'national emergency' over Iran to postpone the November vote.

Greene, who has recently broken with Trump over his aggressive stance toward Iran, replied 'Yeah, I could see it. INSANE.' Her comments come amid growing tensions over Trump's military actions in the region. The former congresswoman has been vocal in her opposition to the strikes, posting that the administration had polled voters about acceptable casualty numbers in a potential war.

Greene's warning about election cancellation follows reports that Trump previously mused about postponing elections during wartime. During a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, Trump reportedly asked whether being in a war meant 'no more elections.' Her comments add to concerns about Trump's willingness to challenge democratic norms as Republicans face potentially unfavorable midterm results.
