Senator Jon Ossoff (D-GA) has given reporters a preview of what to expect from Donald Trump's Thursday night primetime address, which he predicts will be a masterclass in election denialism from 'the world's most famous sore loser.' Ossoff noted that Trump's nominee for director of national intelligence, Jay Clayton, refused to answer whether Joe Biden won the 2020 election during his 'disqualifying and disastrous' confirmation hearing - a worrying sign given Trump's ongoing 'misuse of America's intelligence services' to peddle conspiracy theories.

Ossoff expects Trump to 'reheat debunked conspiracy theories about the repeatedly litigated and audited and confirmed 2020 presidential election in Georgia,' warning that if the president declares Georgia's election or its senators illegitimate, he is declaring Georgia voters illegitimate. He reminded reporters to play the infamous January 2, 2021, audio recording of Trump pressuring Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to 'find 11,780 votes' - a request that, if fulfilled, would have flipped the state. 'It's Donald Trump who tried to defraud Georgia voters,' Ossoff said. 'Donald Trump who tried to commit election fraud.'

Meanwhile, the inaugural CPAC GB kicked off in London, featuring former UK Prime Minister Liz Truss and a roster of hard-right figures including Jack Posobiec (of Pizzagate fame), who urged the British to 'rise up and take back their country.' Sponsors include the John Birch Society, AI company Alpha Compute, and Bitcoin firms. Speakers set to address the crowd include Nigel Farage and Australian anti-immigration leader Pauline Hanson. Romanian ultranationalist George Simion referenced far-right slogans like 'remigration' and the 'great replacement' conspiracy theory, declaring: 'This is not diversity. This is replacement. The answer is remigration.'

Senator Raphael Warnock (D-GA) issued a statement dismissing Trump's claims: 'He lost, he lost, he lost. But this really isn't about 2020. It's about 2026. He is trying to sow doubt on the integrity of our elections in Georgia so that he can create the pretext to interfere in 2026.'

NBC and ABC have declined to air Trump's address live, opting to stream it on their platforms and follow with fact-checking specials - a move reminiscent of their 2022 decision to skip Biden's democracy speech.

In other news, Senator John Fetterman (D-PA) said he would consider leaving the Democratic party if it becomes 'the anti-Israel party,' as over 100 House lawmakers back halting military aid to Israel. Fetterman, a prominent Israel advocate, acknowledged GOP overtures but said he'd only switch parties under that one condition.

Finally, a Washington Post-Ipsos poll puts Trump's approval rating at 37%, matching his April rating and his 2021 exit numbers. Only 29% of Americans approve of his handling of the war with Iran, as a peace deal remains elusive.
