Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton has urged Americans to prepare for the 2026 midterm elections after the Donald Trump administration declined to invite international election observers from the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe.

Trump Administration Excludes OSCE Election Observers

On Wednesday, Clinton shared an MS NOW report saying the administration would not invite OSCE observers to monitor the upcoming midterms.

This will mark the first time in more than two decades the regional security organization will not observe a U.S. election, according to the report.

The decision comes as Democrats and election-integrity advocates have raised concerns about potential election interference, particularly after the Department of Justice announced plans to deploy its own election monitors.

The OSCE described the decision as "regrettable," while Human Rights Watch said the move could heighten concerns about human rights surrounding the elections.

Hillary Clinton Calls for Election Preparation

Reacting to the report on X, Clinton said, "This is worrying news. But anxiety is not a strategy."

She asked people to join progressive organizing network Indivisible's election-protection program, arguing that voters should be prepared for potential efforts to undermine the 2026 elections.

The campaign, known as "Hands Off Our Vote," says it will operate across all 50 states and help voters track election deadlines, monitor threats to voting rights and respond to potential challenges.

Indivisible says its goal is to ensure eligible voters can cast their ballots and have those votes counted. The group also warns of potential efforts involving mail-in voting, voter registration and vote counting.

Indivisible Rallies Voters Ahead of 2026 Midterms

Indivisible describes itself as a nationwide movement focused on opposing authoritarianism and strengthening democracy.

The organization was founded in 2016 by former congressional staffers and grew into a grassroots organizing network following Trump's first election.

Meanwhile, Trump has warned that a Democratic win in the 2026 midterm elections could push the U.S. toward a depression reminiscent of the 1929 economic collapse.
