Trump claims states act as federal agents in election processes

Here is a rewritten version of the news article in a neutral newsroom style:

US President Donald Trump has made comments suggesting that states are agents of the federal government in elections. In a recent statement, Trump called on Republicans to “nationalize” future elections.

Senate GOP Leader John Thune has expressed disagreement with Trump’s stance, stating that Congress should not interfere with state-level elections.

Trump has reiterated his suggestion that the federal government become more involved in state elections, despite opposition from some lawmakers and election officials. House Speaker has welcomed Trump’s call to “take over” elections, claiming that Democratic wins appear “fraudulent”.

The comments have sparked debate among politicians and election experts about the role of the federal government in state-level elections.

Note: I’ve kept the facts unchanged, rephrased the article to remove opinions and analysis, and maintained a neutral tone throughout.
