Baldwin Responds to Trump’s Speech Laying Groundwork to Undermine 2026 Election

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D-WI) released a statement in response to President Trump's address to the nation. Over the past several months, President Trump has repeated his false claims that the 2020 election was stolen from him over 100 times while taking an all-of-the-above approach to try to interfere in the upcoming 2026 elections, including threatening to send federal agents to polling places and trying to limit mail-in voting.

"Trump lost an election fair and square six years ago and has been lying about it ever since, not only because he's a sore loser, but also because he is laying the groundwork to undermine our elections this November," said Senator Baldwin. "President Trump should have given a primetime address on how we can work together to make rent a little cheaper or insurance premiums actually affordable - instead we got recycled conspiracy theories. The President has only made life harder and more expensive for families, and instead of leveling with folks and telling us how he will cut costs, he's trying to evade accountability for it and hold on to power. Every minute that President Trump spends talking about election conspiracies and trying to undermine the next election is a minute he's not working to deliver real relief to families stretching every paycheck."
