You know, he\u2019s a leader. He\u2019s got to get him. It\u2019s the most popular bill I\u2019ve ever seen put before Congress,\u201d Trump said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Trump described the bill\u2019s provisions as including voter ID requirements, a citizenship requirement to vote, a ban on transgender athletes in women\u2019s sports, restrictions on gender-affirming care for minors, and limits on mail-in ballots except for military voters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">Congressional Republicans say the SAVE America Act would prevent voter fraud. Voting rights groups say the bill \u2014 which would require proof of citizenship nationwide to register to vote \u2014 is burdensome to voters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"text | article-text\">To end the filibuster, 60 votes are needed in the Senate, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) is still six votes short, even after Senator John Thune wrote in the New York Post, he\u2019ll now support whatever it takes to get the bill to the president\u2019s desk.<\/p>\n<p>Copyright 2026 Gray DC.
