"The SAVE America Act would require people to provide proof of citizenship when registering to vote and photo identification when casting their ballot. Experts contend that if passed, more than 20 million eligible voters could lose ready access to the polls."
"The president's problem is that even the SAVE America Act's GOP supporters believe that it stands little chance of becoming law. For that to happen, at least nine Democrats would have to join Republicans to defeat a filibuster."
"Trump told the House GOP conference earlier this month, 'It will guarantee the midterms' in favor of Republicans, highlighting the political stakes involved with the SAVE America Act."
The United States is engaged in a war in Iran, and gas prices are rising, impacting an already strained economy. Meanwhile, the Senate is debating the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship for voter registration and photo ID for voting. Experts warn that this could disenfranchise over 20 million eligible voters. Despite its significance, even GOP supporters doubt the bill's chances of passing due to the need for Democratic support to overcome a filibuster. Trump believes its passage could secure Republican victories in upcoming elections.
