Trump sows doubts about 2026 election in effort to sell national voter ID law
President Donald Trump appears to be dusting off his playbook from past elections, indicating he will only accept this November's midterm election results if they are "honest."
Trump's comment to NBC News follows a recent proposal to "nationalize" voting during an appearance on former FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino's podcast, a suggestion the White House has contended that the president is simply in support of the passage of the SAVE Act.
The SAVE Act would require prospective voters to provide proof of citizenship in person to register to vote in federal elections with photo ID, supplementing a push to purge non-citizens from voter rolls after the pandemic prompted a loosening of election laws.
