Conservatives have pushed hard for similar measures across the country, with Florida enacting a rule requiring those seeking a driver’s license to retake their written test in English should they use a third-party service for their initial testing.
President Trump has weighed in on the matter as well, as he previously asked Congress at the 2026 State of the Union address to pass “Delilah’s Law” to codify Trump’s effort to restrict illegals from receiving commercial licenses.

Republicans have campaigned hard against Democrats like former North Carolina governor Roy Cooper, who issued 54 percent of non-domiciled commercial licenses to illegal drivers during his tenure.
Promoting common sense policies, while Democrats fight desperately to oppose them, will certainly be eye-opening to swing voters as the midterms close in.
