Sen. John Fetterman (D-PA) said there was no evidence of the Trump administration’s allegations that noncitizens voted in the 2020 elections, rebuking the allegations made in President Donald Trump’s Thursday address to the nation.

Speaking in an appearance on CNN’s State of the Union, Fetterman cited his experience as lieutenant governor during the 2020 election, insisting it was “absolutely secure, fair, and accurate.” He pointed out that Al Schmidt, then a Philadelphia city commissioner, was a Republican, and described the election as “fair and safe.”
