Donald Trump will deliver a primetime address this Thursday focusing on election security and voting machines. According to reports from NPR, The New York Times, and CNN, Trump intends to use the speech to address “free and fair elections.”
Axios reports that the speech will also cover Iran and election integrity.
Central to the upcoming presentation is Trump’s claim that declassified intelligence reveals interference in the 2020 election. CNBC reports that he intends to use this specific framing.
Focus on Voting Machines and Election Security
A significant portion of the Thursday address will target the technology used in American elections. The New York Times reports that Trump will specifically focus on voting machines and the security protocols surrounding them.
Trump’s emphasis on “election security” serves as a focus for the address. According to CNN, Trump will frame his arguments around “free and fair elections.”
Claims of Declassified Intelligence and Interference
Beyond the technical aspects of voting, Trump plans to introduce what he describes as declassified intelligence. CNBC reports that he will claim this information proves interference in the 2020 election.
The claim of interference is a critical component of the speech’s narrative.
Broadening the Agenda: Iran and Foreign Policy
While election integrity is the headline, the address is not limited to domestic issues. Axios reports that Trump is set to address Iran during the primetime slot.
