Pelosi Warns of Trump ‘Surveillance’ Ahead of Midterms: ‘It’s Not Right’

Feb 15, 2026·3 min read

Rep. Nancy Pelosi cautioned that Democrats must remain alert ahead of the upcoming midterm elections, warning of potential “surveillance by the intelligence operation” and advising her party not to “put anything past” President Donald Trump.

Appearing Saturday on MS NOW’s The Weekend while attending the annual Munich Security Conference in Germany, Pelosi said she has been reassuring European officials that she is confident Democrats will regain control of the House of Representatives. She described having “absolute certainty” about a Democratic victory, even as she acknowledged deep worries about how the elections will unfold.

Pelosi pointed specifically to what she described as troubling involvement by Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard in an FBI raid on a polling station in Fulton County, Georgia, where authorities sought to retrieve ballots from the 2020 election. The California lawmaker said the situation has heightened fears both domestically and abroad about election integrity.

“I hear that all over the United States, not just in Europe, that there is concern about the election. Let me just say that surveillance by the intelligence operation of our country, surveillance in our own country is something that is absolutely not to be allowed. And now, if there’s some particular reason, there’s one thing, but for the for them, for Tulsi to be looking into elections is really not right. It’s not lawful. It’s not right. But that doesn’t seem to ever bother the president. But you know what? We don’t agonize, we organize, and we have litigation. We have lawyering in terms in addition to in the courts, but at polling places and the rest, we have legislation.”

Pelosi also made clear that Democrats intend to oppose voter identification requirements that Trump has pledged will be implemented for the midterms. The House recently approved the SAVE Act, which would mandate identification to cast a ballot, with one Democrat siding with Republicans. The measure now faces significant obstacles in the Senate.

Although Pelosi expressed strong confidence in her party’s electoral prospects, she also warned that Trump could potentially involve federal forces in ways she believes might affect the election process.

“We’re dealing with it. And the president — people are concerned they’re going to send in ICE and the National Guard or this or that,” she argued. “Don’t put anything past him. As we saw on January 6th when the president of the United States personally incited an insurrection in our country, he’s capable of any bad thing.”
