President Donald Trump has suggested no deal should be cut with Democrats “unless, and until, they vote with Republicans to pass” voting reform bill the SAVE America Act.
The legislation, which would require proof of citizenship and photo identification to vote in federal elections, “is far more important than anything else we are doing in the Senate,” Trump said in a Truth Social post on Sunday.
The president said a $5-billion cut to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) “is unacceptable to me and the American people – UNLESS it includes their approval of Voter I.D., (with picture!), Citizenship to Vote, No Mail-In Voting (with exceptions), All Paper Ballots.” restrictions on transgender participation in women’s sports, and a ban on gender‑affirming medical care for minors.
Senate Democrats voted on Saturday to defeat a Republican-sponsored amendment to the bill that would prohibit transgender athletes from women’s sports was defeated.
“Put it all together, and also, let [Senate Majority Leader John] Thune clearly identify those few ‘Republicans’ that are Voting against AMERICA. They will never be elected again! In other words, lump everything together as one, and VOTE!!! Kill the Filibuster, and stay in D.C. for Easter, if necessary,” Trump added.
