Republicans Control Congress, so Why Is Trump’s SAVE America Act Stuck?

Tillis said the proof-of-citizenship bill cannot be implemented before the 2026 midterms and would slow Senate action if it advances.

  • On Thursday, North Carolina GOP Sen. Thom Tillis threatened to stall the SAVE America Act, vowing to use every procedural device available if House Republicans attach it to spending legislation.
  • Tillis argued that 'basic math' makes implementing the legislation's complex requirements within 60 days impossible, calling on colleagues to 'stop the charade' regarding the election timeline.
  • Current data from the National Conference shows 36 states require voter identification, though Senate Majority Leader John Thune noted Republicans lack the 60 votes needed for passage.
  • The Senate is currently negotiating federal government funding legislation to prevent a partial shutdown at midnight on Friday, a process Tillis warned could be undermined by policy airdropped by the White House.
  • Trump attacked Tillis and other Republican Senate Hold Outs in a recent TRUTH Social post, demanding they support legislation to 'SAVE OUR COUNTRY' from a dangerous Communist Movement.
