VIDEO: U.S. President Donald Trump used his primetime address to question the legitimacy of U.S. elections, and push for more restrictive voting laws. The Republican president revisited debunked theories about his 2020 loss to Democrat Joe Biden, despite ongoing voter concerns about other pressing issues. He claimed election interference but provided no evidence of manipulated votes. Some networks chose not to air the speech live. Democrats argue Trump’s claims are baseless and aim to sow confusion.
