"A lot has to do with the SAVE America Act. A lot is going to determine Republicans have to get that passed, because that will secure voting in this country. Trump said the president has been pushing hard for the legislation which would require identification to vote in federal elections in recent weeks."
"When the reality on the ground changes, leaders must take stock and adapt. Cornyn wrote in a New York Post op-ed, explaining his shift on the filibuster rule, stating that Democrats are now weaponizing the filibuster to block legislation most Americans want, making the SAVE Act more important than the 60-vote requirement."
"CNN data guru Harry Enten recently reported most Americans support voter ID laws. Enten highlighted a Pew poll that found 71% of Dems and 95% of Republicans support the legislation, demonstrating broad bipartisan backing for voter identification requirements."
President Trump is withholding his endorsement in the Texas Republican Senate race pending passage of the SAVE America Act, legislation requiring voter identification for federal elections. Trump stated that securing voting in the country depends on Republicans passing this bill. Senator John Cornyn, seeking Trump's backing against Ken Paxton in a May 26 runoff, has shifted his position on the Senate filibuster rule, now prioritizing the SAVE Act over the 60-vote requirement. Cornyn argues Democrats weaponize the filibuster to block popular legislation. Public polling shows broad bipartisan support for voter ID laws, with 71% of Democrats and 95% of Republicans favoring the measure.
