Donald Trump And Mike Johnson Promote Bill Banning Thing That's Already Illegal
"WASHINGTON ― Amid threats from the far right to his job, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) on Friday will appear with presumptive GOP presidential nominee Donald Trump at his ritzy Florida estate to promote a bill banning noncitizens from voting ― something that is already illegal.
Congress in 1996 passed a law banning noncitizens from voting in federal elections, though a few states allow noncitizens to vote in local elections only. And despite Trump’s fearmongering about migrants entering the U.S. to vote illegally, there’s virtually no evidence of noncitizen voting.
Johnson’s event with Trump on Friday ― which Johnson asked for ― is better viewed in the context of threats to his speakership from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and other far-right House Republicans."
