Trump pushes to attach his SAVE act to must-pass bipartisan bills

"“We cannot, as a Country, put up with this any longer!!!” he wrote on Truth Social Saturday. “Voter I.D., and Proof of Citizenship, must be approved, NOW. Crooked Mail-In Voting must be stopped!!! PUT IT ALL IN THE HOUSING AND FISA BILLS.”"

"The SAVE America Act would institute new voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements for federal elections while also banning transgender women from participating in women's sports, among other provisions."

"Meanwhile, House Republican leaders are planning to call a vote next week on the bipartisan housing bill, broadly similar to the White House-endorsed version that passed the Senate in March. And lawmakers have spent months negotiating a long-term reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, a rule that allows the government to collect the communications of foreigners living abroad but often includes Americans' data."

"Lawmakers are working against a June 12 deadline to pass an extension, after approving a temporary six-week reprieve for the program in late April. Bipartisan collaboration is necessary for both bills. And Republicans have little hope of securing the necessary votes from Democrats if Trump's favored legislation enters the fray."

New voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements are proposed for federal elections, with a ban on transgender women participating in women’s sports included among other provisions. House Republican leaders plan a vote on a bipartisan housing bill similar to a White House-endorsed version that passed the Senate in March. Lawmakers are also negotiating a long-term reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which allows collection of communications of foreigners abroad but can include Americans’ data. A June 12 deadline requires an extension after a temporary six-week reprieve approved in late April. Bipartisan support is needed for both bills, and Democrats’ votes are uncertain if the president’s preferred legislation is brought forward.
