House Speaker Mike Johnson, a Republican from Louisiana, will collaborate with former President Donald Trump at his Mar-a-Lago residence to advance a bill that seeks to prevent non-citizens from participating in voting.
Johnson is set to join Trump for a joint press conference on Friday at the latter’s Mar-a-Lago residence. During this event, the prominent House Republican will highlight the legislation aimed at addressing the matter of non-citizens voting in federal elections. This information comes from a reliable source familiar with the planning.
According to the source, the event aims to encourage Republican lawmakers to actively support the issue of election security and join forces.
Non-citizens are currently prohibited from voting in federal elections in the United States, and this is not a frequent occurrence. The previous president has consistently made false assertions about widespread voter fraud during the 2020 presidential elections.
House Republicans are hoping to present a united front, despite the frequent chaos that engulfs the lower chamber.
The upcoming meeting between the two Republicans marks a significant public event and holds immense importance for Johnson’s speakership. Currently, the speaker is facing a potential ouster from conservative firebrand Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene. In addition, Johnson has garnered criticism from other ultraconservatives within the House.
