US government AI chatbot stops answering election questions after contradicting President Trump

On September 29, 2026, the US government launched America.gov, an AI chatbot to help citizens access federal information. On its first day, the chatbot contradicted President Trump by stating that Joe Biden won the 2020 election and that there was no widespread voter fraud. It also rejected Trump's claim of worst inflation under Biden. However, on September 30, the chatbot stopped answering the election question, saying it does not provide political commentary. The White House said the platform would continue to provide accurate information. The chatbot still debunked the inflation claim on September 30.
