Trump vows legislative blockade until SAVE America voter-ID bill is passed
CNBC
The SAVE America Act is all but certain to fail in the Senate, where Democrats will use the filibuster to sink it.
President Donald Trump threatened to withhold his signature from any bill that reaches his desk until Congress passes a controversial election measure known as the SAVE America Act, which would make it much harder for many Americans to vote.
"It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE," Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday. "I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed."
The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote. The measure has been the subject of an immense pressure campaign from right-wing commentators and congressional Republicans.
