Trump Ramps up Pressure on Voter ID Law

President Donald Trump is pushing the SAVE America Act, a bill that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID to cast a ballot in person—a proposal Republican lawmakers say is popular with voters across party lines.

Trump said the measure is his top legislative priority, arguing that passing it would help secure Republican victories in the upcoming midterm elections. Speaking at a conference on the issue, Trump reiterated a previous vow to block approval of other legislation until the bill becomes law.

The SAVE America Act passed the House about a month ago but has stalled in the Senate amid Democratic opposition and procedural hurdles. Some Republicans have floated forcing a vote through a so-called “talking filibuster,” which would require Democrats to hold the Senate floor for an extended debate to delay the measure. Senate Majority Leader John Thune said the outcome of such a move is unclear and that discussions are ongoing among Republican senators about how to proceed.
