Democrats warn of a Trump election takeover. What's really happening?

(CNN) Democrats are reaching DEFCON 1 levels of alarm about President Donald Trump’s efforts to influence the coming election.

“All the signals are flashing red,” wrote Democratic strategist and CNN political analyst David Axelrod in a post on X.

“On the square, the @GOP would take a beating this fall, largely because of Trump’s unpopularity,” Axelrod said, “So he’s setting up Plan B–do whatever you need to do to win. Anything. Anyone who says ‘Well, he wouldn’t do THAT’ hasn’t paid attention.”

Use your imagination, in other words, and don’t be surprised at anything Trump does in the four months until Election Day.
