Trump's Focus on Voting Yields Mixed Results Ahead of November Elections
Courts have blocked Trump’s sweeping election orders, and Senate Republicans have stalled the SAVE Act, leaving his midterm strategy uncertain.
- On Monday, the Supreme Court upheld Mississippi's mail-in ballot law allowing late-arriving ballots, while federal judges blocked President Donald Trump's executive orders restricting voter eligibility and purging registration rolls.
- Trump demanded Republicans scrap the Senate filibuster after the SAVE Act stalled, but four Republican senators opposed the bill, forcing the administration to rely on executive actions now facing judicial scrutiny.
- U.S. District Court Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan permanently blocked the Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements tool, ruling it aggregated sensitive data in a way that threatened voters' privacy rights.
- The Supreme Court overturned a 90-year-old precedent in a 6-3 decision, affirming the president's authority to remove independent agency officials like Federal Trade Commission member Rebecca Slaughter at will.
- Republican National Committee Chairman Joe Gruters vowed the RNC will continue fighting to end elections on Election Day, as the administration pivots toward pending Supreme Court decisions on birthright citizenship and transgender athletes in sports.
