Despite over two years since the Georgia election, there has been no credible evidence to support the widespread fraud allegations made by Trump. Georgia’s Republican officials and three recounts affirmed President Joe Biden’s victory.

Trump Reverses Course on Evidence Release

Trump initially planned a “major News Conference” at his New Jersey golf club to unveil what he dubbed an “almost complete” exoneration report. However, he decided instead to present the alleged evidence of election fraud through formal legal filings, aiming to counter the indictment he’s facing.

Legal Advisers Urge Focus on Future Plans

Trump’s advisers have encouraged him to divert his attention from airing grievances about the 2020 election and instead concentrate on future goals. While this rhetoric resonates with his core supporters, it risks alienating moderate voters and detracts from his campaign’s message.

Elevated Stakes Due to Ongoing Cases
