Trump’s election claims as the Midterms loom
About this episode
The episode discusses Donald Trump's claims about the voting system and the implications for the upcoming midterms.
Donald trump has never been one to let an election go quietly, and now, in a primetime address from the White House, he has once again claimed that America's voting system is fundamentally broken - alleging Chinese interference in the 2020 election despite officials, intelligence agencies and even members of his own former administration saying there's no evidence votes were changed. With the 2026 midterms on the horizon, critics say he's laying the groundwork to challenge the result if republicans fall short. So, what is the political strategy here, and what does it mean for confidence in American democracy? Caroline Vakil, Campaign Reporter at The Hill, joins Pat to discuss.
