Republicans are shaken after Donald Trump<\/a>‘s primetime address alleging China<\/a> undertook the largest election meddling scheme in US history.<\/p>\n

The President accused China-backed groups of infiltrating 220 million Americans with a ‘data exploitation unit,’ and he called the event ‘an unprecedented election security nightmare.’<\/a><\/p>\n

The nationally televised update from the White House<\/a> stirred controversy among major US broadcasters.Fox News<\/a> carried the remarks live and noted that it could not independently verify the President’s claims, while CNN<\/a>, NBC, ABC and others did not run the address.<\/p>\n

Before the speech, Republican lawmakers worried that the controversial remarks would rehash the painful period around the 2020 election<\/a> in which the President’s allegations soured support among GOP<\/a> voters.<\/p>\n

‘President Trump may have energized supporters who already agree with him, but revisiting the 2020 election is unlikely to expand the Republican coalition heading into the midterms<\/a>,’ former Speaker Kevin McCarthy<\/a> aide and political strategist Brittany Martinez said.<\/p>\n

‘American families are focused on affordability and the future, not relitigating an election that has already been extensively litigated in the courts and debated in the political arena.’<\/p>\n

Trump critic and Republican Congressman Thomas Massie questioned why the President would criticize elections after the GOP won across the board in 2024.<\/p>\n

“I don’t think the problem is that our elections aren’t secure because we control the House, Senate, White House, and to some degree we control the Supreme Court,’ he said on MS NOW. ‘Why are you complaining about election fraud? We won all the d*** elections!’<\/p>\n

President Trump used an over 20-minute primetime address to reveal newly declassified documents alleging that China accessed over 220 million American voter profiles<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Trump was joined by many Cabinet officials as he made the address from the White House’s East Room<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

‘The senior team just talked and prepped him. I think they explained the way to be taken seriously is not to be crazy,’ one White House official told Politico of Trump’s election speech<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

There were even concerns in Trump’s own White House about the closely-guarded speech, the contents of which were not previewed by the administration other than passing mentions that it would revolve, at least in part, around US election security.<\/p>\n

‘The senior team just talked and prepped him. I think they explained the way to be taken seriously is not to be crazy,’ one White House official told Politico.<\/p>\n

‘There was going to be a lot of crazier s*** said,’ they added.<\/p>\n

Democrats lashed out at the President for revisiting the 2020 election, which he still maintains that he won despite no evidence backing his allegation.<\/p>\n

‘Obviously, DonaldTrump is a loser,’ former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi reacted.<\/p>\n

A GOP strategist told NOTUS that the speech sounded like it came from ‘someone who thinks they’re going to lose in November.’<\/p>\n

In the background of the speech was Trump’s push to have Senate Republicans pass the Save America Act, a bill that would overhaul US elections by requiring voter ID and reviews of voter rolls.<\/p>\n

The bill passed the House but has been held up in the Senate because Republicans do not have the 60 votes needed to pass it.<\/p>\n

\n

‘US Spy agencies began learning about the compromise of voter registration files in 2020 when they discovered that tens of millions of voter data, think of that, tens of millions voters’ data in 18 states have been bought, stolen or hacked by China,’ Trump alleged.

Trump has recommended that Senate GOP leadership find any way possible to ram the legislation through, and there are discussions ongoing on how to best do that ahead of the midterms.<\/p>\n

Should the bill pass before the November elections, Republicans hope their electoral chances would rise due to the bill’s election security measures. Critics say the bill puts up barriers for some qualified voters to cast their ballots.<\/p>\n

Senate Republican Leader John Thune noted before the address that the only elections he is thinking about are the upcoming midterms.<\/p>\n

‘I don’t know what Trump is going to say. But the only thing I can tell you is that we are focused on the 2026 election, at least I am, and I think most of my colleagues are.’<\/p>\n

Referencing newly declassified files on Thursday night, Trump said that some documents reveal ‘that members of the deep state’ worked to ‘actively suppress and downplay information about the extent of China’s sinister election role.’<\/p>\n

Despite all of his accusations lobbed against China, the President did not threaten any consequences. Xi Jinping and his wife are still scheduled to travel to Washington, DC, for a state visit in September following Trump’s trip to China in May.<\/a><\/p>\n

Referring to another newly declassified CIA report, Trump said the Nicolas Maduro regime developed methods to digitally alter vote totals in ways that could not be detected, even with an audit, no matter how deep they went.’<\/p>\n

The 2021 report also claims that though the ex-Venezuelan dictator may have wishedto sway US public opinion against Trump in 2020<\/a>, he lacked the ability to do so.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
