New York Times Calls Trump's Election Rigging Claims a Lie
Original: Trump's Most Durable Lie: Election Rigging https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/28/opinion/trump-midterms-hoax.html # Politic
A New York Times opinion piece argues that Donald Trump's claims of rigged elections remain his most durable falsehood, casting it as a 'hoax' ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. The column warns that unfounded fraud allegations continue to undermine trust in American democracy and could shape how the midterms are contested and perceived.
Why now: The piece lands close to the midterm elections, when election integrity claims are again in political focus.
