President Donald Trump has wrongly claimed that shoppers need to show photo identification to buy groceries and accused Democrats of obstructing his agenda and his Supreme Court nominee during a raucous rally aimed at bolstering two Florida Republicans ahead of the state's primary.
Trump, addressing thousands of supporters in one of the nation's top electoral battlegrounds, was railing against the idea of noncitizens voting and advocating stricter voting laws when he claimed that IDs are required for everything else, including shopping.
"If you go out and you want to buy groceries, you need a picture on a card, you need ID," he said yesterday. "You go out and you want to buy anything, you need ID and you need your picture."
"We have to make sure Rick Scott wins and wins big," Trump told the crowd. "It's time to vote Bill Nelson out of office."
Democrats "don't want to give Trump any victory," he said. "They will do anything they can to not help the Trump agenda."
Trump, in railing against the idea of allowing non-citizens to vote in some elections, said yesterday: "Only American citizens should vote in American elections."
