"The president has made it very clear. He wants that bill on his desk here at the White House as soon as possible. Leavitt characterized the proposal as five of the most common sense proposals that any party has ever put forward, then listed them in a rapid fire sequence: stricter voter identification rules, proof of citizenship requirements to vote, restrictions on mail-in ballots, bans on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, and prohibitions on transgender women and girls competing in women's sports."
"She said that mail ballots create a tremendous amount of fraud in our electoral system. That's not true. She then pivoted and said, Cannot transgender mutilate our young children. We need a ban on those procedures and surgeries. And then of course, no men in women's sports."
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt appeared on Fox & Friends to advocate for the SAVE America Act, characterizing it as containing five common-sense proposals. The legislation includes stricter voter identification rules, proof of citizenship requirements for voting, restrictions on mail-in ballots, bans on gender-affirming medical care for transgender minors, and prohibitions on transgender women and girls competing in women's sports. Leavitt claimed mail ballots create electoral fraud, though this assertion lacks factual support. She also mischaracterized gender-affirming care, which typically involves social support and counseling rather than surgeries for young children. The White House has indicated the president wants the bill delivered quickly.
