Leading U.S. Senate Democrats have criticized House Republicans for prioritizing the SAVE Act over pressing government budget negotiations, emphasizing that effective governance requires bipartisan cooperation.
With 21.3 million eligible voters unable to easily access proof of citizenship, critics argue the SAVE Act disproportionately impacts people of color and young voters, undermining democratic participation.
The SAVE Act, backed by Speaker Mike Johnson and former President Trump, aims to impose proof of citizenship for voting, despite evidence that noncitizen voting is extremely rare.
Senate leaders are urging that any effort to avoid a government shutdown should be bipartisan, indicating that unilateral approaches only serve partisan interests.
