No referendum with Trump around, says PQ ahead of October election

Donald Trump, the US President, reiterated on Wednesday his claim that he won the 2020 presidential election against Joe Biden. Trump stated that over 24,000 noncitizens had voted illegally in the polls. He made this claim in a post on his Truth Social platform. Trump also mentioned that the US Census Bureau was checking voter records from 2020 against citizenship records, and that the next 32,000,000 voters would be analyzed, causing the number of illegal votes to increase.

Trump renewed his call for the passage of the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship and voter identification in US elections. He praised India's election system and highlighted Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar's comments on the need for a valid photo ID for voting. Trump emphasized that only American citizens should decide American elections, and that the SAVE America Act is a common sense, bipartisan bill.
