Trump removes Election Assistance Commission members: Why this matters ahead of US midterms
US President Donald Trump removed the last three members of the Election Assistance Commission (EAC), leaving the agency unable to function ahead of the November midterms. The dismissals included two Democratic commissioners, Thomas Hicks and Benjamin Hovland, while Republican Christy McCormick resigned. This move is part of a broader trend of personnel changes under Trump's administration, raising concerns about election oversight as the midterms approach.
