President Donald Trump is set to address issues related to voting machines and election integrity in a speech scheduled for July 16. While he did not disclose specific details, he emphasized that it would be "really big news."
According to Reuters, during a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Alzaidi at the White House on July 14, Trump responded to related questions by stating, "It will be related to that topic." He added, "There are a few other things I want to say, but I want to hold off for now," asserting that "without free and fair elections, the country cannot exist."
The upcoming speech is expected to focus on the security of voting machines and potential reforms to the electoral system. Trump may also revisit his previous claims regarding the 2020 presidential election, which he lost.
Trump has consistently alleged that the 2020 election was rigged. However, court rulings, recounts, and investigations by the U.S. Department of Justice have found no widespread fraud that would overturn the election results.
He is also likely to call for the passage of the so-called "SAVE America" bill, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and photo identification for voting.
The speech will take place at 9 p.m. Eastern Time on July 16, which is 10 a.m. on July 17 in South Korea.
