flag Texas Gov. Abbott rejects Trump’s push for federal election control, citing state constitutional authority.

flag Texas Governor Greg Abbott publicly rejected President Trump’s call to federalize elections in certain cities, asserting that state constitutions grant states primary authority over elections and that federal control would be unconstitutional. flag Speaking in Houston on February 10, 2026, Abbott emphasized that state-run elections must remain under state jurisdiction, marking a rare public divergence from Trump, who has repeatedly questioned election integrity in Democratic-leaning areas. flag While Trump clarified he did not use the term “nationalize,” his remarks reignited debate over federal versus state power in election administration. flag Legal experts note any such shift would require congressional action, not executive authority. flag Abbott’s position contrasts with his past efforts to override Harris County’s election system, highlighting internal Republican tensions over election policy.
