SAVE Act: Senate poised to take first vote on Trump-backed voter-ID bill
CNBC
Senators are expected to debate the election bill over the coming days and even weeks.
The Senate on Tuesday afternoon is poised to kick off what could be a dayslong debate over the SAVE America Act, the controversial voter-ID bill backed by President Donald Trump.
"We're not going to let it pass. We're going to fight it tooth and nail," Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., said on Tuesday morning ahead of the vote. "We're prepared to stay here all day and all night, or multiple days and multiple nights and even multiple weeks , if necessary, to make sure the SAVE Act suffers the death that it deserves."
The legislation, which advanced out of the House in February, would require proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to cast a ballot in elections. Those provisions would take effect immediately upon passage, potentially upending the 2026 midterm elections which will decide who controls the House and Senate.
