Scott Applewhite, File) President Trump recently posted on Truth Social that unless Republicans pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility or SAVE Act, The Republican Party will never win another Election. I will, sadly, be the last Republican president. This from the same man who boasts that he won the 2024 presidential election in a landslide (actually, he won with 49.8 percent), and Republicans control the House of Representatives and the Senate — for now.
Trump s oft-stated concern is that Democrats will cheat in the 2026 midterm election. And although election fraud does occur, there isn t any evidence it s widespread.
The president continues to claim the 2020 election was stolen. But he has never presented any proof, even though he frequently promised he would. Ironically, House Republicans actually gained seats in the 2020 election, which would be very odd if it had been rigged to favor Democrats.
