Melanie Viljoen , who relocated to the US in July 2025, also endorsed Trump’s proposal to sign an executive order mandating that voters be required to present identification before casting ballots ahead of next year’s midterm elections. She backed Trump to win the midterm elections.
“So, what I think about the ID is if you don’t have a proper ID and vote, of course, it's gonna be Democrat votes. But if you are a proper person, you’ll definitely see everyone’s gonna vote Trump in the next election, its gonna be Trump. So that’s my opinion about the proper vote ID. It’s right. Why would you want to vote if you don’t have an ID?” Melanie Viljoen added.
