Trump keeps urgency of Jan. 6 inquiries alive: The Note
ABC News
While Republicans look ahead to 2022, Trump remains stuck on 2020.
The TAKE with Rick Klein
Most Republicans are rather content looking ahead these days -- through these bleak days of uncertainty and unease happening on President Joe Biden's watch and to the midterms beyond.
President Donald Trump, meanwhile, keeps wanting to talk about 2020 -- as well as one particularly dark day in 2021. His announcement of what he says will be a news conference at Mar-a-Lago on the anniversary of the Jan. 6 assault on the Capitol, to discuss what he falsely calls the "rigged election," gives fresh urgency to accountability efforts.
Trump isn't letting up, and neither are his many supporters. Beyond misleading and exaggerated claims that are defining competitive primaries, Republicans across key battleground states have restructured voting and certification procedures; such efforts are poised to continue and intensify well into 2022, as documented in a new report from the Brennan Center for Justice.
