@dominykas @mattblaze POTUS has nominal authority over tariffs and immigration enforcement, as those are defined in the Constitution as Federal concerns. He ultimately controls the government structures doing those things.
Elections in the US are explicitly reserved (not 'delegated') to the States, which further delegate authority to counties and municipalities. No one in that hierarchy answers to POTUS.
His "demand" that states provide voter data to Federal authorities has so far failed.

No, Trump does not have the legal authority or the practical ability to “nationalize” US elections, for all the same reasons he also didn’t when he issued an executive order a few months ago abolishing mail in voting.
