Trump speech lays groundwork for him to tamper with midterm results, critics warn

President Trump delivered a primetime address claiming Chinese interference in the 2020 election and declassifying documents to highlight vulnerabilities in U.S. election infrastructure. Democrats and voting rights groups, including Ari Berman from Mother Jones, warn that these unverified claims lay the groundwork to tamper with November's midterm results. Despite these assertions, critics state Trump offered no evidence of direct interference, while polls indicate the president remains disliked by a majority of voters.
