The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said there was “no evidence of any malicious activity” affecting the integrity of the 2024 elections. CISA also said the 2020 election was “the most secure in American history,” with no evidence that voting systems deleted, lost or compromised votes.

President Trump focused on election security, as he continues to insist — falsely — that the 2020 presidential election was stolen from him during his address from the White House on Thursday. In his speech, the president said there are "catastrophic vulnerabilities" in U.S. elections. Major Garrett weighs in on the president's rhetoric. "We've had primary elections all this year. We're going to have more in August. Those primary elections have been conducted under this system that the president said is catastrophically vulnerable. Yet he and all Republicans and Democrats have accepted the elections, the results of those primaries."
