Trump: 'There will be Voter I.D. for the Midterm Elections, whether approved by Congress or not!' [View all]

President Donald Trump suggested he would issue an executive order attempting to impose a nationwide photo ID requirement for voting, a requirement to show proof of citizenship for registration, and a ban on mail voting ahead of the 2026 midterms.

Such an order would likely be blocked by courts, but if it stood, it would stand to disenfranchise millions of eligible voters.

Following the House’s passage of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE) America Act Wednesday, Trump took to Truth Social late Friday afternoon to suggest that if the Senate doesn’t send him the bill, he’ll take unilateral action. Senate Democrats have said they’re committed to preventing the measure from becoming law.

The bill would require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship at registration and show a form of I.D. when they cast their ballots.
