"called for a federal takeover of elections. These people were brought to our country to vote, and they vote illegally, Trump told Bongino. And it's amazing the Republicans aren't tougher on it. The Republicans should say, We want to take over, we should take over the voting in at least 15 places.' The Republicans oughta nationalize the voting, he added."
"On Tuesday, Johnson advocated for the passage of the SAVE Act, which would require voters across the country to provide documentary proof that they are American citizens when they register to vote. The president's comments were then raised by a reporter who asked if Johnson agreed that Republicans should nationalize elections, and whether he has confidence in how elections are conducted right now heading into the midterm. Johnson replied:"
"We have thoughtful debate about our election system every election cycle and sometimes in between. We know it's in our system the states have been in charge of administering their elections. What you're hearing from the president is his frustration about the lack of some of the blue states, frankly, of enforcing these things and making sure that they are free and fair elections. We need constant improvement on that front."
Mike Johnson suggested that three 2024 congressional elections may have been rigged against the GOP and signaled ongoing concern about election integrity. President Donald Trump urged a federal takeover of elections, alleging illegal voting by noncitizens and urging Republicans to nationalize voting in at least 15 places. Johnson endorsed the SAVE Act, which would require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration, and framed the president's comments as frustration with some Democratic-led states' enforcement. Johnson affirmed state responsibility for administering elections, called for constant improvements, declined to pre-empt negotiations, and urged governors to press for more secure, fair elections.
