Trump Issues Voter ID Ultimatum, Demands Citizenship Proof
Trump renews push for voter ID, threatening not to sign bills until Congress approves new voting restrictions in Save America Act.
Trump is doubling down on his push for stricter voting requirements, including a mandate that all voters show proof of citizenship in order to cast a ballot. During remarks at a Republican event in Miami on Monday, the former president reiterated his threat not to sign any new bills until Congress approves the Save America Act, which would also ban mail-in ballots except for those with illness, disability, military service, or travel needs.
The renewed ultimatum comes just a day after Trump first issued the threat, underlining his continued focus on false claims of widespread voter fraud and his determination to impose new voting restrictions across the country. Critics have decried the measures as a thinly veiled attempt to disenfranchise minority and low-income voters who tend to support Democratic candidates.
