Senator Fetterman rebuts Trump's claims about 2020 election security and noncitizen voting.
Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) appeared on CNN's 'State of the Union' and pushed back against President Donald Trump's July 16 primetime speech alleging vulnerabilities in U.S. election systems. Fetterman stated there is 'no evidence' for the administration's claim that 278,000 noncitizens were registered to vote across four states, including Pennsylvania, and defended his state's 2020 election as secure.
