Luján Statement on Trump’s Attempt to Undermine Confidence in U.S. Elections

Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Ben Ray Luján (D-N.M.) issued the following statement in response to President Trump’s attempt to undermine free and fair elections in his address to the nation: “Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. He’s still selling the same lies that led to a violent insurrection five years ago. He would rather relitigate the 2020 election than address the real challenges facing American families. “Americans deserve a president focused on lowering costs, strengthening the economy, and solving the problems they face every day. Instead, this administration has only made life harder and more expensive for American families. “Now, President Trump is ordering Congressional Republicans to rig our election system with the SAVE Act in a desperate attempt to hold onto power. Enough with the lies and the conspiracy theories. “Every American must stand up and call out these lies for what they are. I will always fight for our rights and our democracy.” ###
