Summary
Trump is calling on Republicans to 'nationalize' or federalize elections. This means he wants the party to push for more federal government control over how elections are run, which is currently managed mostly by individual states.
Several news outlets are reporting on this call, noting it comes ahead of the upcoming midterm elections. Some commentators are warning that Trump's statements about elections should be taken seriously as direct threats.
