‘Scared stless’Republicans brace for Trump’s primetime speech
"President Donald Trump is promising to reveal “really big news” on election security. Many Republicans wish he wouldn’t.
The president’s speech, expected to be delivered in prime time Thursday from the White House, comes amid renewed hostilities with Iran, which are once again driving up fuel prices ahead of an election that most strategists still expect to turn on cost-of-living issues.
