Joy Behar argues Trump sending National Guard troops to US cities to stop next election

"This is a pretext to stop the next election," Behar argued. "That's what I think."

"This is in order to make the case, because in all of their minds, they now believe they have carte blanche to do whatever they want to," co-host Whoopi Goldberg said.

Behar said, "And if they stop us from voting, that's the one thing people have."

Goldberg replied, "It's the one thing that makes us very different from lots of other countries. Our votes - they do count. I do know that they count," as Behar wondered if Americans would still be allowed to vote.

"The other aims are that he would like to stop the elections in 2026, or, frankly, take control of those elections," Pritzker said. "He'll just claim that there's some problem with an election, and then he's got troops on the ground that can take control, if, in fact, he's allowed to do this."
