Trump spent majority of days in White House attacking election integrity

President Donald Trump has questioned the credibility of U.S. elections on 440 separate days of his second term, according to a New York Times report. This period covers more than 70 percent of the days since he returned to office in January 2025.

One of his most repeated claims is that the 2020 election was fraudulent and that Joe Biden was not the duly elected president. Recounts, court proceedings, and investigations, including by Trump allies, have found no widespread fraud that changed the outcome.

The president has used these claims to push for the SAVE America Act, which would require new voters to provide proof of citizenship, alongside restrictions on mail-in voting. He has also accused Democrats of cheating in state-level races, including California's gubernatorial primary and the Los Angeles mayor race, before final results were tallied.

With the November midterms less than a month away, the president is now alleging that Democrats intend to rig those contests as well. “Vote by mail or vote in person on Election Day, November 3rd, so we can defeat the radical left Dumocrats in a midterm victory that is too big to rig,” Trump said in a video released this month.

Democrats have spent years condemning the president's comments about U.S. elections, accusing him of undermining faith in the democratic system and laying the groundwork to dispute any result that does not favor him.

When reached by the Times, a White House spokesperson said “the evidence of voter fraud continues to pile up,” and that Democrats’ opposition to the SAVE America Act is “keeping Americans from having full confidence in their elections.”
