Trump Orders Voter ID Rules Before Midterms
📰 What Happened
President Donald Trump said on Friday he will issue an executive order about voter ID requirements. He wants these rules in place before the 2026 midterm elections. Trump posted on Truth Social that he found legal reasons to require voter ID even without Congress approval.
💡 Why It Matters
This could change how Americans vote in the upcoming midterm elections. Voter ID laws affect who can vote and how people prove their identity at polling places. The move sets up a potential fight between the President and Congress over election rules.
🔮 What Happens Next
Trump will release the executive order details soon. Legal experts and Congress will likely challenge whether the President has the power to change voting rules without lawmakers.
