Trump urges GOP to push voter-ID bill during Easter roundtable
TL;DR
President Donald Trump pressed Republican senators to move a voter-ID bill as part of Homeland Security funding, urging them to push through the measure during the Easter holiday with claims it would require citizenship proof to register and a photo ID to vote; Democrats oppose the bill, and the Senate lacks the 60 votes needed to pass it, as lawmakers head into a two-week Easter recess with DHS funding unresolved.
