In U.S. history, only two presidents have served two non-consecutive terms: Democrat Grover Cleveland and Republican Donald Trump. After losing to Joe Biden in 2020, Trump is making his comeback and will return to the White House on January 20, 2025. However, Trump has never accepted his 2020 loss, still claiming the election was stolen—a claim that has been repeatedly debunked.
Now, with Republicans in control of the White House and Congress, Trump is pushing for big changes to how elections are run in the U.S. Republicans see this as their chance to make sweeping reforms, including new rules like voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements. Their goal? To restore public confidence in elections, which, they argue, has been shaken by Trump’s false claims of widespread fraud in 2020.
But not everyone agrees. Democrats, like Rep. Joe Morelle of New York, are pushing back. They argue that these changes could actually make it harder for people to vote, especially those who might already face barriers. Morelle has criticized two Republican-backed bills—the SAVE Act and the ACE Act—claiming they restrict access to ballots.
As we head into 2025, expect this debate to heat up. With both sides dug in, the question is: How far will these election reforms go? The political showdown is just getting started. Stay tuned!
