Donald Trump, the president of the
0:03
United States, who lives in that big
0:05
white house behind me, is obsessed with
0:07
the 2020 election and Joe Biden. He's so
0:10
obsessed that last week from the White
0:12
House, he gave a national address prime
0:16
time on the networks that took it just
0:18
to talk about election security.
0:21
>> Think of that. Tens of millions of
0:23
voters data in 18 states have been
0:27
bought, stolen, or hacked by China.
0:31
>> And we were wondering why is he talking
0:32
about election security when he could
0:34
talk about issues that actually matter
0:36
to voters like the economy,
0:38
affordability. So we reached out to
0:40
David Wel from Semaphore. He's their
0:42
national political correspondent for
0:44
some answers. And there's three
0:45
important things for you to know thing.
0:47
The first
0:50
Donald Trump is the king of sore losers.
0:53
>> Great damage has been done to our
0:55
country. Our elections were left
0:57
vulnerable to being rigged and stolen.
1:00
>> Whenever he loses an election, he tries
1:02
to spin the narrative into one about
1:04
election fraud. And of course, 2020 was
1:07
his biggest loss ever. So, of course,
1:09
he's trying to put himself in the middle
1:10
of that story as the world's biggest
1:13
loser. The second thing is our elections
1:16
in the United States are controlled by
1:17
states, not the federal government. But
1:19
that's another reason Donald Trump got
1:20
on TV late last week. He wants more
1:23
federal control over elections. And
1:25
that's why he's trying to compel
1:26
Congress and voters to pass the SAVE
1:30
Act. The Save Act would put more federal
1:33
standards on elections and require proof
1:36
of citizenship at polling stations. The
1:38
irony here is that the more Donald Trump
1:40
talks about losing in 2020, the more
1:43
likely he is to lose in 2026. Democrats
1:47
like Senator John Oaf love it when the
1:50
president wants to talk about election
1:51
security because he's not talking about
1:53
the issues that really matter to voters.
1:56
Tonight, I heard a failed president
2:00
desperately casting about for excuses to
2:02
meddle in the upcoming election if he
2:04
can or to discredit the result when he
2:07
loses decisively as I expect. So, the
2:10
upshot of all this might be that the
2:12
Democrats end up doing really well in
2:14
the midterms. For more on this story,

2:18
listen to podcasts.
