Hi there,

Can you donate $10 per month to support Democracy Now!’s independent journalism all year long? Since our very first broadcast in 1996, we’ve refused to take government or corporate funding, because nothing is more important to us than our editorial independence—especially in this unprecedented election year. When Democracy Now! covers war and peace or the climate crisis, we’re not brought to you by the weapons manufacturers or the oil, gas, coal or nuclear companies. Our journalism is powered by YOU. But that means we can’t do our work without your support. Right now, a generous donor will DOUBLE your gift, which means your $10 donation this month will be worth $20 to Democracy Now! Please do your part right now. We’re all in this together. Thank you so much.
-Amy Goodman

Trump Audio Shows Ex-President Pressured Michigan Election Workers Not to Certify His 2020 Defeat

HeadlineDec 22, 2023

In Michigan, former President Donald Trump personally pressured two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to sign the certification of the 2020 presidential election after his loss to Joe Biden. That’s according to The Detroit News, which reviewed audio of a November 17, 2020, phone call in which Trump told the canvassers they’d look “terrible” if they signed the documents. After the call, the two officials tried but failed to rescind their votes to certify Biden’s election win, and filed legal affidavits saying they were pressured.
