Congratulates Georgia on new voting law (SB 202), claiming it "learned from the travesty of the 2020 Election"

Trump issued a statement congratulating Georgia for passing SB 202, a new voting law that introduced stricter voting requirements. He claimed the law would prevent a repeat of the "travesty of the 2020 Presidential Election," perpetuating his false narrative of widespread fraud. He would later backtrack, calling the law "too weak."
