In a Fox News opinion piece, Doug Schoen argues that President Donald Trump's Thursday White House address on election security struck an important note of vigilance, warning of potential foreign interference in US elections from Russia, China, Iran and North Korea. Schoen, who describes himself as broadly sympathetic to the concern, contends that Trump should treat the threat as genuinely global rather than focused on a handful of adversaries, and that both political parties need to take the warning seriously ahead of the 2026 midterms.

The piece follows Trump's release of a trove of documents he says demonstrate vulnerabilities in America's election infrastructure, with the president expected to make election integrity a central theme of his primetime remarks. Schoen calls on Trump to move beyond the warning itself and set out a clear, actionable agenda for securing elections, arguing that allegations against China in particular warrant serious follow-through rather than remaining rhetorical.
