Fairfax County Democratic Committee

Trump rehashed old claims calculated to cast doubt on the legitimacy of our elections along with his greatest hits of grievances and lies. This speech was one step in his efforts to rig the midterm elections. He fears the democracy that will hold him accountable for his crimes, his abuse of our federal government, his violation of our Constitution, his misuse of taxpayer dollars.

Americans must come out and vote, vote early in record numbers for candidates that will change the make up of the House and the Senate to hold Trump and his henchmen responsible for their illegal and unethical actions.

In primetime speech, Trump doesn't provide evidence for illegal voting President Trump raised claims that the country's voting systems are vulnerable to being "rigged and stolen," without providing new evidence of a single fraudulent vote cast in any election.

Here's the full statement from The Brennan Center For Justice.

July 9, 2026

President Trump today terminated two members of the U.S. Election Assistance Commission, and the agency’s remaining Republican commissioner resigned. This leaves the Election Assistance Commission — a bipartisan agency tasked with supporting states so they can run accurate, secure elections — with no commissioners.

Michael Waldman, president and CEO of the Brennan Center for Justice at NYU Law, had the following reaction:

“Today’s terminations are deeply concerning in light of President Trump’s relentless efforts to try to interfere in elections.

“Congress deliberately structured the Election Assistance Commission as a bipartisan agency to help states administer free, fair, and secure elections.

“These removals leave the agency without leadership and unable to carry out its major responsibilities.

“The guardrails Congress placed on this agency are clear and must be followed: the Election Assistance Commission was designed to be bipartisan with four members, no more than two of which can be from the same political party. The agency cannot make any significant decisions or take any significant actions unless three confirmed commissioners agree. Until bipartisan replacements are confirmed, the agency cannot lawfully make any decisions that affect how Americans vote.”
