President Trump is set to deliver a primetime address Thursday night on “election integrity,” promising to present “findings” that his press secretary claims will be backed by facts, despite his long‑standing, unsubstantiated claims of winning the 2020 election. The speech is expected to promote the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship and ID for voting—a measure critics say could suppress turnout given the rarity of voter fraud. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer warned the address aims to delegitimize upcoming midterm elections rather than reveal new evidence. Trump’s approval remains low as his war in Iran nears five months and Republican leaders urge him to focus on the economy.
