During his Wednesday, January 21 speech at the 2026 World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland, U.S. President Donald Trump repeated his debunked claim that the 2020 election was stolen from him and promised that "people will soon be prosecuted for what they did."
"It was a rigged election," Trump told Davos attendees. "We can't have rigged elections."
European reporters were quick to fact-check Trump, noting that one recount after another confirmed that 2020 Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden won the election fair and square.
But a week later in Georgia, on Wednesday, January 28, FBI agents searched an elections center looking for 2020 election records. Georgia was among the swing states that Trump lost in 2020 but won in 2016 and 2024.
In some January 29 posts on X, formerly Twitter, Nevada Independent CEO Jon Ralston stressed that the search is about much more than Georgia and much more than 2020.
Ralston said of the FBI search, "Outrageous and frightening. No basis to do this, all court cases Trump filed came to naught in 2020. And don't forget this from Trump in '22: 'Clark County, Nevada, has a corrupt voting system...' Does anyone think he'll stop w/[Georgia]? And still: The silence of the GOP lambs."
Referencing the 2026 midterms in a separate tweet, Ralston posted, "This has little to do with 2020. With the likelihood of the GOP losing the House in November and the Senate perhaps in play, this is all about what Trump is planning for this year's election. Calling an election corrupt so you can corrupt an election is quite the trick."
