00:00Mr. President, Donald Trump's election speech tonight is not about the election Trump lost
00:07six years ago.
00:08It is a threat against the election he is afraid to lose this November.
00:14Trump may control the microphone tonight, but he will not control the verdict in November.
00:21The voters will have the last word, and Senate Democrats will rebut Trump's lies every day.
00:28We will fight like hell to make sure Trump can't silence voters.
00:36Trump's primetime speech tonight isn't simply about relitigating his overwhelming defeat in
00:42the 2020 election.
00:44It's about undermining the 2026 election before a single vote has been cast.
00:51Trump won't expose anything of substance about 2020.
00:54He'll just echo the same stale, baseless, pathetic lies he's repeated for six years.
01:03Donald, you've been trying this shtick for six years.
01:06Only your little coterie of sycophants still believes these lies, no one else.
01:13You can say tonight, Trump, you can say it tonight.
01:16You can say it tomorrow, you can say it every night till election.
01:21No one believes you.
01:24The election was not stolen.
01:29Trump keeps chasing his tail, going round and round and round in circles so many times
01:36he's left a rut in the ground.
01:38Every time he tells a lie, he digs himself deeper into the hole.
01:44Trump's fixation on these conspiracy theories reeks of desperation.
01:50Trump knows he can't defend Republicans' disastrous record, his disastrous record as well, so he's
01:57trying to discredit the voters who will judge it in November.
01:59Hey, Donald, the reason your numbers are so low is because you're obsessed with B.S. like this
02:09instead of what Americans actually care about.
02:13The American people are fed up with Donald Trump.
02:16Americans are fed up with the chaos in their streets, fed up with the corruption in their
02:21government, fed up with sky-high costs in every part of their lives because of this administration's
02:28policies.
02:30Voters are sick of forking over their tax dollars to line Trump's pockets and to fuel
02:36his failed war in Iran.
02:38Trump has given up on winning over hearts and minds.
02:42Now he's focused on rigging rules and purging voter rolls.
02:47Instead of changing course on their deeply unpopular agenda, Trump and the GOP have launched
02:52a coordinated, multi-front campaign to subvert the 2026 elections.
02:59But don't worry, America.
03:01It will fail.
03:03Trump has called for Republicans to, quote, take over voting in 15 states in the country.
03:09That's what he said.
03:10Trump said, quote, we want to take over.
03:13We should take over voting.
03:15Republicans ought to nationalize the voting.
03:17It's in his own words.
03:20Trump has issued unlawful executive orders to try and kill vote by mail.
03:25The administration is packed to the rafters with election deniers, including key election
03:30oversight positions.
03:32MAGA loyalists like Todd Blanche and Kash Patel have used DOJ and FBI to foment election officials,
03:42to torment election officials, and foment lies with politically motivated investigations designed
03:50to sow doubts and instill fear.
03:55Trump's Republican allies in Congress keep pushing the SAVE Act, the most devious voter
04:00suppression legislation Trump has ever dreamed up.
04:06Donald, when it comes to the SAVE Act, the courts have rejected it.
04:11Congress has rejected it.
04:13Even members of your own party have rejected it.
04:16Give it up.
04:17The SAVE Act isn't going anywhere.
04:21There's no way we're letting this administration feed Americans' personal data into an algorithm
04:27Donald Trump, Elon Musk, and Russell Vogt created and let it pick who gets to vote.
04:34Donald Trump made life harder and more expensive for the American people.
04:40And now he wants to make sure the American people can't hold him accountable at the ballot
04:46box.
04:47That's what Trump's speech is about tonight.
04:50But in America, voters choose their leaders.
04:54Leaders do not choose their voters.
04:57And Senate Democrats are going to fight like hell to make sure our elections belong to the
05:02voters, not to Donald Trump.
05:05The country does not belong to Donald Trump.
05:08The ballot does not belong to Donald Trump.
05:10The verdict does not belong to Donald Trump.
05:15It belongs to the American people, and this vote November, they will deliver it.
05:30If you understand that, the ones who say, whatever.
