Trump pitches mega-bill plan to push voting reforms with defense funding

President Trump urged GOP leaders to attach the SAVE America Act voting reforms to a defense-spending bill using reconciliation to bypass the Senate filibuster, aiming to pass both before lawmakers’ summer recess. House Speaker Mike Johnson intends to try voting-restrictions again via the budget bill, despite conservative pushback. The reforms would require proof of citizenship to register and a photo ID to vote. Even if the measure advances, Senate approval remains uncertain and time is tight with lawmakers leaving in late July.
