House Speaker Mike Johnson and Donald Trump Propose Legislation to Ban Non-Citizen Voting

Despite existing laws against non-citizen voting, Johnson and Trump's proposal aims to intensify restrictions, sparking widespread criticism and allegations of perpetuating election fraud myths.

  • Mike Johnson and Donald Trump announce a new legislative initiative at Mar-a-Lago to reinforce the existing ban on non-citizen voting, despite it being a well-established federal law since 1997.
  • Critics argue the move is a political strategy, leveraging unfounded voter fraud claims to influence Republican voter base and policy direction.
  • The proposal has been met with skepticism and dismissal from various quarters, including Fox News, citing lack of evidence for widespread non-citizen voting.
  • Amidst internal GOP conflicts and a challenging speakership, Johnson's alignment with Trump is seen as an attempt to solidify his position within the party.
  • The initiative is part of a broader pattern of election-related controversies involving Trump and his allies, focusing on election integrity without substantial proof of fraud.
