Slotkin asks Hegseth to rule out troops at polls

Democratic Sen. Elissa Slotkin asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to confirm the Pentagon won't send troops to polling places or seize election materials in November's midterms, citing concerns the Trump administration could use the military to interfere. The Pentagon said it will respond directly. Slotkin noted Trump's past actions, including contemplating using the military to seize voting machines in 2020.
