"Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS, Trump wrote. It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE."
"I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL."
"Critics argue the ID requirements in the SAVE act are far more restrictive than many Americans realize, and its passage would lead to wide disenfranchisement. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has committed to maintaining a 60-vote threshold and has said that he cannot even get a simple majority of 50 to agree upon the procedural tactic required to move forward."
President Trump is intensifying pressure to pass the SAVE America Act, threatening to block all other legislation until the Senate approves it. The bill requires strict voter ID and proof of citizenship to vote, with mail-in ballots limited to military personnel, illness, disability, and travel. Trump advocates using the talking filibuster to advance the measure, claiming it has 88% voter support. Supporters argue voter ID laws are popular, but critics contend the SAVE Act's requirements are far more restrictive than perceived and would cause widespread voter disenfranchisement. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has maintained a 60-vote threshold requirement and indicated he cannot secure even a simple 50-vote majority for procedural advancement.
