Trump claims Republicans will never lose a race for 50 years if Congress bans mail-in voting
Speaking at the Coosa Steel Corporation factory in Rome, Georgia, President Donald Trump claims that passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act — which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and eliminate most mail-in ballots — would permanently lock in Republican electoral dominance. \"I'll tell you what, Republicans have to win this one,\" Trump says. \"We'll never lose a race. For 50 years, we won't lose a race.\" The official White House transcript, published in the Federal Register, confirms the quote verbatim. Trump also celebrates the FBI's raid of an elections facility in Fulton County, Georgia, renewing debunked claims that Democrats stole the 2020 election. Democracy Docket calls the remarks \"the latest alarming comments calling into question the security of American elections and pressuring Congress to suppress the vote to benefit Republicans.\" The statement is the clearest expression yet of the Trump administration's view that restricting voting access is a partisan strategy rather than a neutral election-security measure.
