Ossoff calls out Trump's 'obsession' with 2020 election ahead of speech

USA TODAY · back to the audit

In a post on Truth Social Monday, Trump said he will be "making a Speech to the Nation" on Thursday at 9 p.m. ET. Trump did not disclose what the speech would be about in his post.

However, many have speculated the address will reignite election fraud claims.

In response to reporting from MS Now and the Washington Reporter that Trump's speech could be about election fraud and target Georgia's two Senate seats, Ossoff said this renewed "obsession" with Georgia elections stems from Trump's anger toward Black voters who turned against him.

"Donald Trump's spiral continues. The failed president, pocketing billions as he drives up prices, is afraid to lose the midterms. So he will reheat debunked election conspiracy theories and tell bizarre new lies to deny his 2020 defeat and attack voting rights," Ossoff said in a statement late Monday.

"From the start, Trump's obsession with Georgia elections revealed his fury that Black voters were instrumental to his defeat," Ossoff said. "I'm asking concerned citizens nationwide to join me and support our voter protection efforts in Georgia."
