According to Leavitt, Trump’s initiative aims to strengthen the integrity of the election process by requiring voters to present identification and proof of citizenship at voter registration. The spokeswoman emphasized that, in her view, a large portion of the US population supports such measures.

Trump also repeated on his social network, Truth Social, the unfounded claim that US elections were rigged, calling them stolen and a laughingstock around the world.

The president’s initiative comes amid ongoing disputes over the US election process, where Trump and his supporters have repeatedly called for the nationalization of elections and stricter voting rules.

Some Republicans have already pushed bills requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration and strict voter ID rules, which have drawn criticism from Democrats and civil rights advocates who see it as a threat to voting rights.

Critics also note that federal intervention in elections, which constitutionally fall under state authority, could trigger constitutional disputes and heighten political tensions.

Official responses from Congressional leaders or the Democratic Party’s position on Trump’s proposals have not yet been released.

Donald Trump has suggested he might run for a third term, saying he is unsure whether the Constitution prohibits it.

However, legal experts emphasize that, without a constitutional amendment, running for a third term is impossible. In the US, presidential term limits are established by the 22nd Amendment, ratified in 1951.

In November 2025, Trump said he was receiving calls to run again but did not yet see grounds to do so.
