Trump Claims US Elections 'Rigged' on Truth Social, Demands Sweeping Voting Restrictions
President Donald Trump posted on Truth Social declaring that 'America's elections are rigged, stolen, and a laughingstock all over the world,' warning that 'we are either going to fix them, or we won't have a country any longer.' He outlined specific legislative demands under what he called the 'SAVE America Act,' urging Republicans to fight for mandatory voter identification, proof of US citizenship to register, and elimination of mail-in ballots except in specific circumstances. The post intensifies his longstanding claims of electoral fraud and comes as election experts warn he may be laying groundwork to contest the 2026 midterm results. House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries responded that Trump's suggestion for Republicans to 'take over' elections really means 'steal it.'
