U.S.President Donald Trump has faced accusations of attempting to influence the upcoming midterm elections after firing the last two Democratic members of the bipartisan Election Assistance Commission.

The move, which occurred days before the midterms, has raised alarms among political analysts and Democrats, who view it as an effort to undermine election integrity.

The Trump administration defended the action, citing a Supreme Court ruling that expanded the president's authority to remove officials from independent agencies.However, critics argue that the firings, coupled with Trump's ongoing claims of election fraud, could destabilize the electoral process.

The commission, responsible for certifying voting equipment and overseeing federal election funding, now has only one remaining Republican commissioner after two resignations.

Democrats, including Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, have condemned the move as a 'power grab' and warned of its potential to erode public trust in the electoral system.Meanwhile, Republicans are divided, with some fearing Trump's unpopularity and economic policies could cost them control of Congress.The situation highlights the growing tensions in U.S.politics as the midterms approach, with concerns over election security and partisan influence dominating the discourse.
