Trump presses Senate to stay in session and push SAVE Act before recess
TL;DR Summary
President Trump is pressuring Senate Majority Leader Thune to keep the chamber in session and not allow a summer recess until the SAVE America Act passes, a voting-restrictions bill that would require proof of citizenship, voter ID, and curb mail-in voting ahead of 2026 elections. The measure faces opposition from Democrats and wavering support among Republicans, and while House Republicans pursue a reconciliation path, Senate rules and the filibuster complicate a quick vote.
