None of the provided sources reports that the U.S. government cited a March 2025 event as evidence of election interference in the 2026 midterms, so the claim can be neither confirmed nor refuted. The passage itself is the claimant's commentary dismissing such a citation as a reach, which is not evidence.
What was said
… Midterms, which are happening, uh, next month i mean, I know that the Us. Uh, election cycles and campaign cycles are untenably long, but to cite something from, say, you know, March 2025, and say that this is election interference, I think is a bit of a reach. But it is, you know, as and, but as you pointed out there the Us. Is fond of calling people out for things that they themselves, um, are guilty of doing, um, just to deflect the blame.

The MeidasTouch Podcast · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Context. Reuters (Oct 2026) describes a government investigation into a Puerto Rico voting machine that began in June 2025, which concerns foreign-manipulation allegations about 2020 and 2024 elections, not a March 2025 event cited for midterm interference.[1]
Context. Just Security (Oct 2026) reports that the intelligence community found no evidence of attempts to compromise the voting process and that the 2026 threat assessment omitted U.S. election interference entirely, which cuts against the idea of a current government interference case built on March 2025 events.[3]
Context. The PolitiFact piece from March 2025 addresses the Zelenskyy Scranton visit of September 2024 and finds the 'election interference' label unsupported, but it does not address any U.S. government citation of a March 2025 event for the midterms.[2]
Context. The passage's claim departs from the post: the post only says a March 2025 reference is a 'bit of a reach' as election interference, and does not identify which U.S. government body cited it, so the extracted claim adds a specific actor and act that the passage does not supply.
