Donald Trump says China carried out "largest compromise of election data in history"

During a 25-minute address on Thursday, President Donald Trump made the unsupported assertion that China was responsible for what he termed the most extensive breach of election data ever. He delivered this claim while urging Congress to approve the Save America Act, a measure Democrats have denounced as an effort to suppress voting. Critics, including campaign reporter Caroline Vakil, observed that the speech reflected Trump’s persistent focus on the 2020 contest he lost to Joe Biden. Democrats mocked the remarks, suggesting they aim to erode public trust in U.S. elections and could influence this November’s midterm races rather than the next presidential cycle. Vakil also noted that federal authorities lack the power to oversee state-run elections, a structure Republicans have historically defended.
