President Donald Trump is scheduled to deliver a nationally televised primetime address Thursday evening, promising what he has described as “really big news” in a speech that is expected to focus on election security and voting systems ahead of this year’s midterm elections.
The White House has provided few details about the announcement, but officials have indicated the president plans to discuss election integrity, the 2020 election, and what the administration describes as vulnerabilities in the nation’s voting infrastructure. The address is scheduled to begin at 9 p.m. Eastern.
The speech comes as election policy continues to be a major political issue in Washington, with lawmakers, state officials, and advocacy groups debating voting rules, election security, and public confidence in the electoral process.
Because the White House has not released the full contents of the address, it remains unclear whether the president will announce new executive actions, propose legislation, or outline additional election initiatives.
