Wisconsin Election: Trump accuses Democrats after voter ID gets approved
United States President Donald Trump has accused Democrats after voter ID was approved in the Wisconsin election.
On Tuesday, Wisconsin voters decided to enshrine a voter ID law in the state constitution.
Reacting, Trump, in a post on his Truth Social media account on Tuesday night, said the Democrats fought hard against the voter ID, presumably so they can cheat.
According to him, the latest development is a big win for the Republicans.
“Voter I.D. just approved in Wisconsin Election,” Trump wrote.
“Democrats fought hard against this, presumably so they can cheat. This is a big win for Republicans, maybe the biggest win of the night.
“It should allow us to win Wisconsin, like I just did in the Presidential Election, for many years to come!”
Wisconsin’s photo ID requirement for voting will now be elevated from state law to constitutional amendment under a proposal approved by voters.

Israel to expand Gaza military operation with large-scale evacuations
Israeli government on Wednesday announced a major expansion of military operations in Gaza, saying large areas of the enclave would be seized and added to its security zones, accompanied by large-scale evacuations of the population.
Israel’s leaders have been urged by signs of protest in Gaza against Hamas, the militant group which has controlled the enclave since 2007.
The expanded operation appeared at least partly aimed at increasing civilian pressure on its leaders.
Recall that an Israeli airstrike killed several people, including a Hezbollah official in Beirut on Tuesday.
According to a statement, Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz said evacuations would take place from areas where there was fighting, while urging Gazans to eliminate Hamas and return Israeli hostages as the only way to end the war.
The Israeli military had already issued evacuation warnings to Gazans living around the southern city of Rafah and towards the city of Khan Yunis, telling them to move to the Al-Mawasi area on the shore, previously designated a humanitarian zone.
According to Israel’s Army Radio, the 36th division, sent to the Southern Command area last month to prepare for operations in Gaza, would take part in the operation.
Katz’s statement did not make clear how much land Israel intended to seize.
Israeli forces have already set up a significant buffer zone within Gaza, expanding an area that existed around the edges of the enclave before the war and adding a large security area in the so-called Netzarim corridor through the middle of Gaza.
Similarly, Israeli leaders have said they plan to facilitate voluntary departure of Palestinians from the enclave, after US President Donald Trump called for it to be permanently evacuated and redeveloped as a coastal resort under US control.
Katz’s remarks came after Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu repeated calls for Hamas to disarm and said the application of military pressure was the best way to get back the remaining 59 hostages.
“I call on the residents of Gaza to act now to eliminate Hamas and return all the kidnapped. This is the only way to end the war,” Katz said.

Katsina PDP Leaders to Join Atiku’s Coalition against APC
Katsina PDP Leaders to Join Atiku’s Coalition against APC
Francis Sardauna in Katsina
Some chieftains of the Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) in Katsina state have vowed to join the newly formed coalition of opposition political parties to wrest power from the ruling All Progressives Congress (APC) in 2027.
The state’s stalwarts of the PDP led by Dr. Mustapha Inuwa, announced plans to join the coalition of the 2023 presidential candidate of the party, Atiku Abubakar, during a stakeholders’ meeting in Katsina yesterday.
Inuwa, a former Secretary to the Katsina State Government, while addressing the stakeholders, said discussions had reached an advanced stage to form a coalition to oust the APC at state and national levels.
Although Inuwa did not mention that they will join the Atiku’s coalition, credible sources within the party told THISDAY that they had concluded arrangements to join their political godfather in his new camp.
He said: “We have commenced discussions with members of the New Nigeria People’s Party (NNPP), People’s Redemption Party (PRP) and even prominent APC members to form a coalition for the 2027 election.
“It may shock you to know that some of the APC members who are supporting this movement are holding key positions in the APC government at state and federal governments.”
He said members of the opposition movement, which comprises prominent politicians from within and outside Katsina state, would soon reach a consensus on a political party to join ahead of the 2027 polls.
Former National Secretary of the PDP, Senator Umar Ibrahim Tsauri, former Senator representing Daura Zone, Ahmed Babba Kaita and Ahmed Musa Yar’adua, were among chieftains of the party that attended the meeting.
