A self-proclaimed three-time Trump voter has expressed frustration with President Donald Trump's recent speech focused on debunked election conspiracy theories, urging the president to prioritize affordability issues and the conflict in Iran.
Voter Discontent After Election Speech
Following Trump's Thursday night address—in which he discussed alleged vulnerabilities in voting systems and repeated debunked claims about the 2020 election—MS NOW's Alex Tabot spoke with voters in Iowa.
During Friday's episode of "The Moment," host Katy Tur aired interviews from the field, including a conversation with Mark Bogue, a self-described three-time Trump voter.
'Get Off That Topic'
When asked how he felt about Trump delivering a speech about the 2020 election in 2026, Bogue responded:
"I would like to see him move forward and get off that topic, yes sir. I'd like to get back to what we're really trying to accomplish, and that's — even today, I want to hear where we're going. I'm not all for that conversation at all."
Pressed by Tabot on what he would prefer the president focus on, Bogue said:
"Well, let's get Iran figured out ... get the economy, get gas prices back down, which I think they will be if we can get that figured out. So I think right now that's the biggest topic, is Iran. Where are we going with this thing?"
