Trump's July 16 Primetime Address
Gone quiet since
Where it stands
The July 16 address made unsubstantiated claims about Chinese election interference and noncitizen voter fraud while urging passage of the SAVE Act; fact-checkers found no evidence for the claims. The report also said Trump’s approval rating fell to 37% and Democrats called the address a distraction; whether its immediate public and political fallout has run its course remains open.
