Trump Renews Election Fraud Claims

President Donald Trump used a primetime address to allege China stole voter registration data on 220 million Americans and that the "deep state" suppressed evidence of 2020 election interference.

China dismissed the claims as "pure fabrications" and "malicious smears," while a prominent Beijing adviser suggested the rhetoric revealed a "huge crisis" within American democracy.

Democrats accused Trump of laying the groundwork to dispute the upcoming midterm results.

Trump also linked his election fraud narrative to hosting the World Cup and Olympics, quipping that a "rigged election" meant he got to host both events.
