Trump Declares Iran War 'Complete' While Georgia Tests Voter ID Push

The special election for Marjorie Taylor Greene's congressional district in Georgia is underway, with a high-stakes primary that will determine the successor to her House seat. Republican former prosecutor Clay Fuller, who has Donald Trump's endorsement, is likely to face Democrat and retired general Shawn Harris in a runoff election on April 7. The election serves as a live test of Trump's 'proof of citizenship' voting requirements, which the former president insisted would be implemented 'by lunchtime tomorrow' during a campaign stop at a Marietta barbecue joint. According to Karoline Leavitt, who will address the media at a briefing scheduled for 2 pm ET, the White House is closely watching the election.

'The president is committed to supporting candidates who share his vision for the country,' Leavitt said in a statement. However, the Republican field is fractured, with over a dozen candidates vying for the seat, including former state senator Colton Moore, who has promised to 'audit the election results before the votes are cast' if elected. Meanwhile, federal judge Matthew Brann has ruled that three prosecutors handpicked by Pam Bondi, the US attorney general, were appointed illegally, bypassing congressional approval.

The ruling has sparked concerns about the executive branch's overreach and its potential impact on the election. As the election heats up, Trump has renewed his push for the Save America Act, a curtailment of voting access that requires voters to show proof of citizenship in order to vote. 'All voters must show proof of citizenship in order to vote,' Trump said during remarks on Monday at a Republican event in Miami. 'No mail-in ballots, except for illness, disability, military or travel.' The move has been met with criticism from Democrats, who argue that the legislation is an attempt to restrict voting rights.

In a bizarre twist, Trump has also claimed that the war in Iran is 'very complete, pretty much,' despite the economic toll rising and the conflict escalating. 'I think the war is very complete, pretty much,' he said in a phone call with CBS News. 'They have no navy, no communications, they've got no air force.' Trump's national security advisor could be seen mouthing 'they never had an air force' to a staffer during the call, according to pool reporters. The former president then clarified that the conflict's completion was 'approximately 97 percent' finished, with remaining operations consisting mainly of 'looking for their army.'

In a surreal moment, Trump's pick of former prosecutor Clay Fuller has been endorsed by the president, who has also been accused of making contradictory statements about the war in Iran. 'I think soon. Very soon,' Trump said when asked about when the war would end, adding that Iran's lack of military infrastructure made the timeline 'very predictable.' As Georgia voters navigated new citizenship verification booths requiring notarized birth certificates, election officials reported that turnout had slowed to 'a trickle of very patriotic tricklers.'

Trump concluded his Georgia rally by assuring supporters that Democrats would need to 'find their own country to vote in' if the voting legislation passes, while simultaneously taking credit for what he called 'the most finished war in modern history.'
