President Donald Trump will emerge as a leader in the election integrity movement, according to a top adviser.
Jason Miller made the comment to Just the News, and he says the former president has a lot of big plans in the near future.
“Trump has a number of goals over the next couple of years,” Miller said.
One of them, Miller said, is “winning back the House and the Senate for Republicans in 2022 to make sure that we can stop the Democratic craziness.”
But one issue will drive Trump’s future, Miller said.
“You’re going to see him emerge as the nation’s leader on ballot and voting integrity,” said Miller, who in addition to his current role served as a key adviser in Trump’s election bids in 2016 and 2020.
Miller said questions over the conduct in elections have been asked but never fully answered — something he said isn’t likely to happen in Congress under the leadership of Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.
“Much of this will never get done in Washington, as you know because Chuck and Nancy are gonna do their best to continue rigging this, every aspect that they can,” Miller said on Just the News.
As Miller framed it, the issue concerns the role of the executive and judicial branch personnel in setting rules for elections, a mission the U.S. Constitution allots to state legislatures.
The voting integrity effort will not begin until after a transition period, he said, adding: “This is critical; we have to do this.”
Kelli Ward, who is seeking a second term as chairwoman of Arizona’s Republican Party, told The Western Journal that she received a call from Trump on Monday night, and the two discussed election integrity.
“His main question was, ‘Is the Arizona Legislature going to stay on top of this and not drop the ball?’ And I said, ‘Mr. President, as long as I’m the chairman, I am not going to allow them to just sweep this under the rug … because election integrity is my No. 1 agenda for this 2022 cycle,” Ward said.
After Nov. 3, Trump filed multiple lawsuits about alleged election irregularities. Although none of the lawsuits was successful in overturning the results of the election, the lawsuits did raise election-process questions that some lawmakers want to be answered.
Miller, however, said he expects little in the way of opposition to President Joe Biden’s agenda from Republicans.
“A number of things could be done legislatively, but I think President Trump also looks at Capitol Hill and realizes Democrats are in charge of both the House and the Senate and, quite frankly … we see how the D.C. insiders are just slow to move,” he said, according to Town Hall.
“How many years did Republicans sit there on Capitol Hill, even though we had both the House and the Senate, and never did anything about the spying and cheating that we saw from President Obama and his administration?”
Trump has teased some future plans but has said nothing definitive.
“We’ll do something, but not just yet,” he said last week.
“I will always fight for you. I will be watching and I will be listening,” the former president said in his farewell remarks in Washington on Wednesday.
“We will be back in some form,” Trump also said.
Our party needs a good cleaning whether we remain an opposition party or one selected to lead.
Lookout Mitt; he’s gunning for you!
Queue up the Jaws music. Dump dump dump... be very scared, it is “out there” and a lot of Trump chum is floating about on the surface.
Mitt is up for re-election in 2024.
Amen and Amen!!!!!!!!!!
I think Trump understands now much more clearly that the GOPe at all levels is the biggest impediment to MAGA. I pray he is very involved and I hope that his political PAC puts out a voter guide.
Should have started the remaking of the GOP into an actual opposition party in 2016 instead of cozying up to and endorsing the backstabbing Bush League Republicans.
This is exactly what he should do, and I think today’s endorsement of Sarah Huckabee Sanders for Gov. of AR is the opening gun.
I think he terrified even the entrenched GOPe with his threat to start a third party. So many people indicated a willingness to join (plus so many people have changed to independent recently) that now they know they’ve got to fall in with Trump or fall off the gravy train. Self interest does wonders.
Same guy who reported that “we have them now”?
We learned in 2020 election scandal that we will have no more honest elections until Trump hopefully fixes the problem. So until system is fixed, I question optimism.
Insights welcome.

Miller's right on this stuff...
All true Conservatives are going after Mutt.
Al the while, as the former Purple Lipped Imposter in the White Hut and his Wingman Eric the Schnoz are working to trash the election process with lawfare across the land.
Battle lines are being drawn.
Keep your powder dry.
Roll MAGA, roll!
Yes, the 3rd party gambit was definitely a shot across their bow.
I wonder how the RNC donations are doing?
dims will probably give the gop money.
Trump for Speaker of the House 2022
Well good luck. With the H.R.1 Voting proposal bill Dems just wrote and if our stupid party passes it in Senate, we are screwed. The bill where they want to have electronic signature for online voting, allow 3rd parties to handle elections, unlimited amount of ballots that can be collected, no witness/notary signatures, etc we won’t be winning any future elections.
They now know what they did wrong to when they stole votes in middle of the night where Trump lost votes that he had, etc. They will make sure all these fake ballots will be folded and crinkled so they don’t look like freshly printed.
we do need somebody to focus the effort to primary RINO’s.
DJT would be nice if he chooses
The GOPe is not afraid of Trump and us at all. This is what they want a continuation of the status quo. Don’t fall for it. New Party or bust.
Anyone who has contributed to the RNC in the last two decades, is a fool.
