Trump’s Fight to Control the 2026 Midterms w/ Cisco Aguilar

Nevada Secretary of State Cisco Aguilar just won a major Supreme Court fight against the Trump administration over its attempt to impose new federal restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the midterms. Aguilar joins Shane Smith to explain what Trump was trying to do, why Nevada fought it, and why he believes the battle over who controls American elections is far from over. They get into mail-in ballots and voter fraud, voter ID, the DOJ’s demands for private voter data, seven federal subpoenas concerning Nevada voters, cybersecurity and foreign interference, and why Aguilar believes the fight over the 2026 midterms is really about control of the 2028 presidential election. Aguilar also explains why he thinks Trump’s ultimate goal is “choosing the voters rather than the voters choosing the electeds” — and why, after multiple court battles with the federal government, he says he’s not backing down. #ShaneSmith #CiscoAguilar #Trump #SupremeCourt #Midterms #Election2026 #MailInVoting #VotingRights #Nevada #Elections #VICE #VICENews #ShaneSmithHasQuestions Subscribe to VICE News here: http://bit.ly/Subscribe-to-VICE-News Check out VICE News for more: http://vicenews.com Follow VICE News here: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@vicenews?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/vicenews Twitter: https://twitter.com/vicenews Instagram: http://instagram.com/vicenews =================================== Chapters: 0:00 Breaking News The Supreme Court Rejects Trump's Mail Voting Restrictions 1:02 Cisco Aguilar on Winning at the Supreme Court Twice 5:13 Why Latino Voters Are Worried and the Voter ID Debate 7:03 Jim Marchant the Election Denier and the Fight Over Nevada 11:24 How Would You Actually Steal an Election 15:42 Trump's Executive Order and Mail Ballots After Election Day 17:20 Why Don't You Need ID to Vote 21:27 Why the Postal Service Should Not Run Elections 24:58 Cybersecurity and Protecting Elections from Foreign Actors 31:12 The Supreme Court Dissent and Why the Battle Is Not Over 34:26 Why Don't People Believe Elections Are Secure 38:30 How Do We Protect Elections Going Forward Trump’s Fight to Control the 2026 Midterms w/ Cisco Aguilar | Shane Smith Has Questions https://youtu.be/jc8k88fUzC0
