Trump says a 'daughter... above 6 years old' could vouch for voter ID during GOP speech
Mar 11th 2026
At a March 9 GOP event in Doral, Florida, President Trump said a daughter "above 6 years old" could vouch for voter ID while outlining proposed voting restrictions, but the remark's intent and legal basis remain unclear.
- Trump made the remark during a March 9, 2026 speech at the Republican Members Issues Conference in Doral, Florida.
- A short clip shows him saying, "your daughter, she has to be of age, like above 6 years old" while discussing voter ID proposals.
- He was promoting stricter voting measures tied to the SAVE America Act and also misstated limits on mail in ballots during the same speech.
- The White House did not respond to requests for clarification and the intent behind the comment remains unclear.
- There is no evidence of any federal or state law that allows a 6 year old to verify a voter identity and the clip required context rather than standalone interpretation.
