SAVE America Act stalls in Congress as Trump pushes voting restrictions ahead of midterms
The bill would require voter ID and in-person citizenship proof, while Democrats warn it could disenfranchise millions of voters.
- Legislation imposing sweeping national voting restrictions has stalled in Congress, even as President Donald Trump renews his push for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act ahead of midterm elections.
- Trump cited the Supreme Court ruling allowing mail-in ballots sent by Election Day as justification for the measure, though he admitted to reporters he doubts Congress will approve it.
- Andrew Garber of the Brennan Center noted the bill would require documents like birth certificates, affecting 21 million Americans, while Democratic leadership called it "Jim Crow 2.0" over disenfranchisement concerns.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson pushed back on Senate inaction Tuesday, arguing "it makes no sense for us to stop our very important progress forward from House Republicans because some Senate Democrats are refusing to do their job."
- Some Republicans argue the president's uphill push aims to deflect blame onto Senate Republicans for potential midterm losses as the party nears the 100-day mark before elections.
