Trump’s Own Evidence Contradicts Election Interference Claims

Donald Trump’s demand for stricter voting requirements, framed as the “SAVE and Protect” Act, is presented as a response to fabricated claims of Chinese election interference.

The underlying goal appears to be pushing through stalled election reform legislation, despite its potential to disenfranchise millions of voters before critical midterms.

It seems the organization is drawing a firm boundary, stating that any Democrat who takes a position contrary to its core objectives, specifically regarding aid to Israel, will no longer be able to access its financial support.… Continue reading
