Trump Pushes Voter ID Bill Through Senate | Dover News
Description
Trump’s pushing hard for the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act, demanding the August recess be canceled until it’s done — even suggesting ending the filibuster to make it happen. But with only 53 GOP seats, Republicans lack the votes, and Thune’s priorities include funding and Russia sanctions. House Republicans approved a $10 billion voting reform package, but it’s still stalled. Senators like Mike Lee are ramping up pressure, warning this could impact midterms and leadership races. Thune’s asking Trump to help rally support, and Trump says he’ll call senators. The bill would require proof of citizenship and photo ID — experts warn it could disenfranchise 20 million Americans who lack those documents.
