Trump’s Own Tactics Threaten Election Trust, Not Foreign Interference

The Bulwark argues that Donald Trump poses a greater risk to U.S. elections than foreign actors, citing a National Intelligence Council report that foreign powers did not alter the technical voting process in 2020, while noting that foreign powers spread claims to undermine confidence. The piece contends Trump’s primetime address and ongoing rhetoric amount to domestic election influence that challenges the legitimacy of elections, highlighting weak polling for Trump and GOP leaders who embrace his narrative, and urging a pro-democracy effort to uphold trust in democratic processes.
