My statement on President Trump's speech.
images:3
- AK
Here’s the truth: his own administration moved to gut the very programs that protect our elections. His lies are the point — it’s how he tries to justify taking over election systems ahead of the midterms in order to hold onto power. He’s afraid he’s going to lose, but we’re focused on you. 2/2
- AK
Last night was 25 minutes of conspiracy theories from a man who still can’t get over 2020. Not one word about your rent, groceries, or health care. 1/2
- AK
Despite everything he said tonight, Americans will go to the polls this fall because they don’t want more rubber stamps of Donald Trump.
- AK
He's relitigating an election he lost six years ago instead of focusing on what he should be fixing: costs are up for families across the country and his war has no end in sight.
- AK
Every American has the right to vote. But the President continues to attack that right, including once again voting by mail (which he has done himself).
- MW
That was an embarrassing speech with no new info – just lies and rehashed conspiracies. It’s incumbent on ALL of us not to treat that like real news.

By now it should be obvious that Trump intends to repeat his playbook from 2020, and attempt to deny any result he does not like. And tonight was just another attempt by him to avoid accountability and defeat in November.
- AS
What the President presented tonight was not a leveling with the American people. It was a renewed attempt to inject fear and cloud reality ahead of the next election in November and provide pretext for seizing voter data, and discrediting and interfering with election results.
- AS
And Trump himself has discounted these threats as hoaxes in the past, breaking from bipartisan tradition of taking the hard work of our intelligence community seriously.
- AS
Seasoned FBI and other federal agents have been pulled off the beat to chase conspiracies and aid Trump’s chaotic and unlawful deportation agenda.
- AS
Under Trump’s leadership, he has gutted resources committed to combatting foreign malign influence. Funding for the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency and local election security grants have been slashed under the Trump administration.
- AS
But when it comes to identifying real threats and giving our election administrators the resources to fight them, Trump’s actions speak louder than his words tonight.
- AS
He has also repeatedly ignored and dismissed previous, credible intelligence about foreign interference in elections because it did not fit his political agenda.
- AS
The reality is that foreign governments do try to influence our elections—in fact, Trump has previously encouraged Russia to do exactly that.
- AS
He is merely trying to undermine confidence in our elections, so he can seize voter data under the guise of protecting it, and subvert elections he is convinced his party is losing. He will not succeed.
- AS
Even so, tonight he produced no evidence that China or any other country manipulated a single U.S. voting system or changed a single vote.
- AS
All of his claims and the selective release of any documents must be treated with the greatest skepticism given the President’s many lies and misrepresentations about our elections.
- AS
Terrified that voters will send his party packing in the midterms, he is falling back on some old lies and putting out new ones.
- AS
Trump knows he has failed to deliver on any of his campaign promises, has raised costs of American families instead of lowering them, and gotten us into another Middle Eastern war nobody wanted.
- AS
Tonight, the same President who once badgered Georgia’s Republican Secretary of State to find 11,780 votes that didn’t exist, so he could overtake Biden’s lead in the state in 2020, put out a whole new set of lies about our elections, past and present.
- AS
So about that speech:🧵
- MW
Tonight, Donald Trump made one thing abundantly clear: He’s going to do everything he can to interfere in our free and fair elections. This is the time for all of us to stand together and fight back.

If Trump wins, it’s a fair election. If he loses, there was fraud. Does he realize the election he’s talking about happened under his watch as President? The only reason Trump is bringing this up now is to distract from the fact he’s failed to make Americans' lives better.
- BL
Every American must stand up and call out these lies for what they are. I will always fight for our rights and our democracy.
- BL
This administration has only made life harder and more expensive for American families. Now, he’s ordering Congressional Republicans to rig our election system with the SAVE Act in a desperate attempt to hold onto power.
- BL
If you didn’t catch Donald Trump’s incoherent ramblings tonight, here’s what you need to know: Donald Trump lost the 2020 election. Fair and square. He’s still selling the same lies that led to a violent insurrection five years ago.

My statement on Trump’s latest attempt to lay the groundwork to rig the 2026 elections and undermine democracy:

We will be ready. We have systems to protect the vote and lawyers to defend those systems. The important thing right now is for the public to see and understand what this lawless and increasingly unhinged president is trying to do.
- SW
We are witnessing a failed, unstable president now trying to misuse the powers of the federal government to taint an American election, backed by his coterie of creepy billionaires.
- SW
Tonight seems to be the ceremonial kickoff of President Trump’s campaign to interfere in the November election. Trump has badly lost independent voters, even MAGA is disheartened; he is failing and unpopular, and he’s dragging his party down with him in the midterms.
- TB
President Trump should have given a primetime address on how we can work together to make rent a little cheaper or insurance premiums actually affordable - instead, we got recycled conspiracy theories as he lays the groundwork to undermine our next election.
- CS
Not now. Not ever. The SAVE Act is dead on arrival in the United States Senate.

- CS
We Democrats are engaged in doing exactly that, and we will not let this President use delusional bias and a desperate attempt to preserve his personal political power to attack and undermine Americans' sacred right to vote.
- CS
This President sadly wallows in grievance, vengeance, and conspiracy while Americans want their leaders to boldly tackle persistent inflation, expensive groceries, rising gas prices, and terrible cuts to affordable healthcare.
- MB
Colorado is the gold-standard for election security and voter trust. I will do everything in my power to preserve that, no matter what lie Donald Trump says next.
- MB
His obsession with conspiracy theories and false claims — which he has forced his nominees to repeat in confirmation hearings — is only being used to justify one thing: the SAVE America Act, a bill so unpopular his own party refuses to pass it.
- MB
Donald Trump’s speech tonight did nothing to safeguard our elections or strengthen our democracy.

Trump doesn’t care that families can’t afford rent, groceries, gas, or even health care. He only cares about nursing his bruised ego after losing in a fair and secure election.

Donald Trump made it abundantly clear tonight that he is more focused on old, debunked conspiracy theories from six years ago than doing anything now to lower costs and improve Nevadans’ lives.
- PM
After listening to the president’s rambling address, I want him to know that the SAVE America Act is going NOWHERE in the Senate. It belongs in the trash with the rest of Donald Trump’s conspiracy theories. America, use your vote & your voice to save our democracy. 🇺🇸
- CH
Trump's speech tonight was a 5-alarm fire for our democracy, our Constitution, and our country. No matter your political party, we must stand together for our democracy & fight back against this attempt to undermine it. No Kings.

Our democracy is not guaranteed. It is paramount that Republicans and Democrats join together in support of free and fair elections and condemn any attempts by this President to undermine our democracy before it’s too late. (2/2)
- RD
President Trump and his Republican Party are flailing. They know their MAGA agenda is making life more expensive, communities less safe, and government more corrupt. Tonight’s ‘speech’ from the President is a dangerous attempt to resurrect disproven lies to undermine future elections. (1/2)
- MW
Isn’t it weird that Trump’s speech never mentioned Russia – probably the single biggest perpetrator of election influence?
- MW
It’s pretty laughable to watch Trump try and pretend accessing the voter file is the same thing as election interference. ANY statewide candidate will tell you that information is publicly available to purchase – it’s not some huge breach.
- MH
As his illegal war rages on, gas prices surge, and millions of Americans go without health care, the President is spending his time trying to prove crackpot conspiracy theories, build expensive vanity projects, and make it harder for Americans to vote.
- MH
The President’s cynical, dishonest, and frankly, unhinged speech tonight is just another reminder that he is not focused on the needs of the American people.
