Trump urges GOP lawmakers to pass national voter ID mandate; pitches 'SAVE Act'

Описание: In a speech to House Republicans on Tuesday, President Donald Trump urged lawmakers to pass a national voter ID law ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.
You want to have Voter ID. You want to insist on it. You want to insist on it," Trump said.
Trump specifically pitched the 'SAVE Act,' which passed in the House in 2025 but stalled in the Senate. Legislation that would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.
SAVE Act or the 'Save America Act.' I think we're going to change the name a little bit. I think everyone in this room certainly should do it," said Trump.
On social media, multiple Republican lawmakers voiced support for Trump's comments. Including Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, who wrote, "Thank you, Mr. President! The SAVE Act will help SAVE America! Let’s get it done."
