“We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world.”
President Donald Trump is expected to speak at 9 pm EST this evening where is slated to talk about election integrity ahead of the 2026 midterms, an issue that he and supporters have made a priority for years. Meanwhile, two of the three major American TV networks in ABC and NBC have opted to not broadcast the prime-time address.
Trump's address will touch on the SAVE America Act, election integrity, and other things the president would like to happen ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. For the last several months, the president has been pushing to pass the Save America Act to make it more difficult for noncitizens to illegally vote in elections.
White House Press Secretary Karline Leavitt gave a small preview on Thursday of what Trump would be talking about. “I think all Americans – Democrat, Republican — should agree that we are the greatest country in the history of the world. We should have the safest and most secure elections in the history of the world,” Leavitt said in a White House press briefing.
“And what the president will be speaking about tonight will show you that perhaps that is not the case, and we need to make some adjustments moving forward, including the SAVE America Act,” she added.
Trump may also talk about election security concerns in 2020, where he lost to former President Joe Biden. For years, Trump as well as supporters of the president have questioned and claimed that the 2020 election rife with fraud as well as anomalies when it came to ballot counts in certain areas such as Fulton County, Georgia.
Leavitt pushed back on reporters during the briefing when they asked her why Trump will not let the results of the 2020 election go.
"You’re jumping ahead to a conclusion in the speech before even hearing it yourself,” Leavitt said. “I think that everyone should tune in tonight, including the people in this room, and you should report on the president’s speech and the findings that he is going to reveal in the speech with a little bit of honesty and a little bit of integrity because…it will shock you if you have an honest eye listening to the president tonight.”
