MAGA Thinks Maduro Will Prove Trump Won in 2020
Yvonne Wingett Sanchez: “In the days after American commandos raided Nicolás Maduro’s compound and whisked him out of Venezuela, Mike Lindell wasn’t ruminating about the dramatic military operation or oil prices—he was reviving a long-dead conspiracy theory.”
“Lindell, better known as the ‘MyPillow guy,’ was celebrating because, in his telling, a possible witness to the theory that Venezuela conspired with election-equipment companies to rig the 2020 presidential election against Donald Trump was now in U.S. custody.”
Said Lindell: “I’m hoping now that Maduro will actually come clean and tell us everything about the machines and how they steal the elections.”

Review Finds No Widespread Illegal Voting by Migrants
“It was a common refrain for Donald Trump and his allies during the 2024 campaign: The Biden administration was purposely encouraging mass numbers of immigrants to cross the border in order to vote illegally,” the New York Times reports.
“As president, Mr. Trump has pushed his administration to address the alleged crimes, including prompting many states to upload tens of millions of voter records through a federal immigration verification tool run out of the Department of Homeland Security.”
“But with the review underway, the results so far indicate there is no evidence of widespread fraud.”

Trump’s Base Isn’t Deserting Him
Yair Rosenberg: “For months, major media outlets have run story after story about the alleged crack-up of Trump’s MAGA base, sourced to a specific set of elite right-wing influencers. These accounts have been widely shared and celebrated by liberal readers and pundits.”
“And yet for months, that crack-up has failed to meaningfully materialize in polls and focus groups, and the allegations of MAGA infighting have borne little resemblance to the real-world trajectory of conservative politics, where Trump still reigns supreme.”

An Emboldened Trump Places His Bets
New York Times: “Mr. Trump appears newly emboldened, buoyed by the seeming success of striking Iran’s nuclear sites and sending an Army Delta Force team in to seize Nicolás Maduro from his bed. If Mr. Trump is successful — and if his luck holds — the world may look back at these remarkable few months as a burst of American interventionism and say that Mr. Trump managed to bury Iran’s nuclear program in rubble and oversaw the fall of repressive regimes in Venezuela, Iran and Cuba.”
“Of course, wiping out repressive regimes and ushering in a new era of freedom for people in different parts of the world are not part of Mr. Trump’s national security strategy…”
“Nonetheless, there is a new argument brewing among some Republicans in Washington. They say that despite the MAGA credo that Washington should avoid foreign entanglements, an exception can be carved out for getting rid of repressive leaders who once shouted, ‘Death to America.'”
