POLICY WIRE — Washington, D.C. — According to a recent report, advisors to former President Donald Trump sought to dissuade him from delivering a primetime address focused on his unsubstantiated claims of election fraud. The report indicates that some GOP operatives expressed concerns that voters were not interested in hearing about Trump’s grievances related to the 2020 election.

The report doesn’t specify which advisors attempted to steer Trump away from the address or the exact nature of their concerns. However, it highlights a perceived disconnect between Trump’s messaging — and the interests of the electorate.

This development comes amid ongoing scrutiny of Trump’s post-election activities and his continued assertions of widespread voter fraud, despite numerous courts and government agencies confirming the integrity of the 2020 election results.
