Tonight, former President Donald Trump is set to deliver a much-anticipated primetime speech focusing on election security and the role of voting machines. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt announced the event, stating that Trump will make a “major address to the nation on protecting the integrity of our elections” and urged “every American to tune in.”
