"He's gotta be a leader. He's a leader, he's gotta get 'em. It's the most popular bill I've ever seen put before Congress. It's voter ID, you have to be a citizen to vote. It's called citizenship. And we're also adding in no men playing in women's sports, no transgender mutilation of our children, and no mail in ballots—fake mail-in ballots—except in the case of the military, etc."
"I have said it before and I'll say it again, the SAVE Act would impose Jim Crow-type laws on the entire country and is dead on arrival in the Senate. It is a poison pill that will kill any legislation that it is attached to. If House Republicans add the SAVE Act to the bipartisan appropriations package it will lead to another prolonged Trump government shutdown."
President Trump publicly urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to advance the SAVE Act, describing it as exceptionally popular with the American public. The legislation requires voter ID and citizenship verification for federal elections, while also including provisions restricting transgender-related medical procedures and mail-in voting except for military personnel. Thune previously indicated insufficient votes to pass the bill through the Senate. Trump emphasized the act's importance for Republican success in 2026 midterms. Democrats, including Senator Chuck Schumer, oppose the legislation, characterizing voter ID requirements as discriminatory and comparable to Jim Crow laws. However, polling data suggests most Americans support voter ID requirements, contradicting Democratic opposition.
