Trump Revives 2020 Fraud Claims; Some Republicans Refuse to Contradict Him

HuffPost — Politics—President Trump used a formal address to revive and amplify claims that the 2020 election was stolen, adding new allegations that China directly interfered in the outcome — assertions repeatedly investigated and rejected by courts and election officials. Democrats accused Trump of using the speech to lay groundwork for contesting midterm results. A Republican senator, when asked about Trump's 2020 fraud claims on camera, declined to push back, saying only 'I don't know.' International observers noted the speech echoed authoritarian patterns of normalizing electoral dispute.
