4 GOP senators vote against adding SAVE America Act to budget package
Four Republicans joined Democrats in rejecting John Kennedy’s bid to add voter ID and citizenship checks to a budget package, falling 48-50.
- Early Thursday, the Senate rejected an amendment from Sen. John Kennedy to include Safeguard American Voter Eligibility America Act provisions in a budget reconciliation package, failing in a 48-50 vote.
- President Donald Trump has made the SAVE America Act, which mandates voter identification and proof of citizenship, a top legislative priority, but Republicans holding 53 seats struggle to secure the 60 votes required to overcome filibuster hurdles.
- Four Republican senators—Susan Collins , Lisa Murkowski , Thom Tillis , and Mitch McConnell —broke with the party to vote against the amendment, while all present Democrats opposed the measure.
- Following the vote, the Senate successfully passed its broader budget plan to fund Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol agencies, though Democratic demands for law enforcement reform remain unresolved.
- Betting markets assign the stalled SAVE America Act a 13% chance of passage, reflecting ongoing difficulty in reconciling GOP legislative priorities with broader congressional opposition.
