Election experts say that would be very hard, if not impossible. The Constitution clearly gives states and Congress, not the president, the right to conduct elections. But experts worry that Trump could undermine the vote. He's commandeered voter records in 11 states already and could move to disqualify certain voters. Ever since 2016, Trump has said he would only honor the results of elections. His side wins. That's what January 6th was all about. Mara Liasson, NPR News.

Mr. Thakht Rabanci said they were receiving messages in public and private that the US Was interested in reaching a deal. But he expressed concern about President Trump's conflicting signals. In his latest comments, the US Leader said regime change would be the best thing to happen in Iran. Takhtaravanji, who's playing a key role in this process, said that wasn't the message they were receiving in private. He also questioned America's military buildup in the region, warning that another war would be to dangerous for everyone.

Mikayla Shifrin's medal drought continues as she finishes 11th in the Giants slalom. Shiffrin was in seventh place after the first run, then dropped four positions following the second run. It continues her streak of failing to win an Olympic medal. Back in 2014 in Sochi, as an 18 year old, Shiffrin won her first medal, a gold. Then eight years ago in Pyeongchang, she won a second gold and a silver. But in Beijing in 2022, as a big favorite in several events, she came away empty handed. The streak has continued so far here in Italy, Shiffrin has one more event on her Olympic schedule, so the women's slalom on Wednesday. That's considered her strongest event. For NPR News, I'm Steve Futterman in Milan.
