EXCERPT:
President Donald Trump is set to address the nation July 16 with an expected primetime focus on election integrity.
Trump’s comments and news reports show he will focus on the 2020 election that he lost.
The administration has been cagey about offering further details, saying Americans will need to tune in.
Trump alluded to the speech’s topic July 14; when a reporter asked whether his remarks would be about “election machines’ integrity,” Trump said, “It will concern that subject.”
“Our country has to shape up,” Trump said, adding, “it doesn’t get bigger because without free and fair elections, you don’t have a country.” MS NOW, citing unnamed White House officials, had reported that Trump will talk about newly declassified intelligence reports about foreign nations’ plans to interfere in the 2020 election.
Trump has made unproven statements about elections and voting by mail for a decade. He has used those falsehoods to push for changing election laws and recently called on Congress to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill that would tighten voter registration and voter ID requirements.
