Jason Miller, a senior adviser to former President Donald Trump, emphasized the importance of election integrity during a discussion on Newsmax’s “Newsline,” setting the stage for a joint announcement with House Speaker Mike Johnson at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago club.
Miller framed election integrity as a critical issue for the Republican Party, particularly ahead of the upcoming fall elections.
He linked this concern with what he described as an open border under President Biden’s administration, claiming that approximately 15 million people have crossed the border in the last three years, thus underscoring the need to ensure that “only legit voters” are casting ballots.

Miller highlighted that while much of the election-related legislative action has traditionally been handled at the state level, there are measures that the federal government could implement to safeguard elections.
Miller Offered Remarks on an Axios Report
Trump and Johnson’s collaboration on this issue is presented as a united front. During their press conference, they aimed to outline federal-level interventions. The adviser also stressed maintaining a Republican majority in the House of Representatives.
He expressed concerns about the Democratic-controlled Senate pushing unfavorable legislation and emphasized the importance of Republican unity to counteract what he referred to as “constant chaos.” Miller’s comments suggest a strategic focus on organization and discipline within the GOP to secure electoral victories.
Additionally, Miller commented on a report from Axios, which revealed that the Democratic National Committee (DNC) had paid more than $1.5 million in legal fees for President Joe Biden during a special counsel investigation into his handling of classified documents. He criticized this action as hypocritical, pointing out that it mirrors the very behavior for which Democrats have criticized Trump.

According to Miller, this exemplifies a broader pattern of misinformation and disinformation practices by Democrats and the mainstream media, which he claims are aimed at unfairly targeting Republican figures while obscuring their own actions.
This narrative fits into a larger context of partisan division in the U.S., where both sides accuse each other of undermining electoral integrity and engaging in deceptive practices.
The statements from Trump’s camp reflect an ongoing strategy to mobilize Republican voters by highlighting threats to election security and contrasting GOP policies with those of the Democrats, particularly on issues like border security and electoral management.
