Donald Trump delivered a speech to the nation on Thursday night,
sowing doubts in the U.S. election system
and claiming that drastic changes were needed,
-- despite presenting no new or substantiated evidence
that any past election was affected by fraud.
Trump was expected to deliver a missive rehashing the results of the 2020 presidential race,
in which he legitimately lost to former President Joe Biden.
Instead, Trump downplayed those beliefs,

Trump alleges 'shocking vulnerabilities' in US election security ahead of midterms
The president accuses China of meddling in the 2020 election, directly contradicting past findings from US intelligence.

Democrats and voting rights groups say Donald Trump’s primetime speech

is the clearest sign yet that the president is laying the groundwork to tamper with the results of November’s midterms.

Did they believe the 2020 election was stolen from Trump?
With like-minded allies now positioned in key roles throughout the government,
Trump has trained the full arsenal of the federal government on one of his most persistent obsessions:
sowing doubt about the security of the country’s election systems.

Trump Brings Full Weight of Government to Bolster False Election Claims
Intelligence agencies provided the White House with a trove of declassified documents that President Trump cited on Thursday as evidence of election vulnerabilities.

May 2026 was the second-warmest May on record globally, in between 2024 and 2025.
The global average temperature was 15.81°C, 0.55°C above the 1991-2020 average for May and 1.42°C above the estimated 1850-1900 pre-industrial average for the month.

The declassified documents Trump just released to “prove” the 2020 election was “rigged”
actually show that Russia tried to interfere to hurt Biden and help Trump.

Trump released documents that confirm Russia tried to interfere in the 2020 election to hurt Biden. It says Russia tried to "orchestrate a high-profile corruption scandal" and push narratives about "voter fraud resulting from mail-in balloting"

Take it from the guy who took Donald Trump and his allies to court 43 times after the 2020 election
