Trump Demands SAVE America Act in Housing, FISA Bills to Require Voter ID
4 articles · Updated · ms.now · May 20
Trump on Tuesday urged Congress to pass the SAVE America Act immediately by attaching it to housing and FISA legislation, saying voter ID and documentary proof of citizenship would “guarantee the midterms.”
The bill would require proof of citizenship to register and mandate voter identification at polls nationwide, making it one of the few measures Trump has repeatedly pressed in his second term.
His push cuts against a bipartisan Capitol Hill effort to notch legislative wins before the Memorial Day recess and the fall campaign, including a housing package the House is advancing without the SAVE measure.
The demand also highlights Trump’s focus on election rules over broader policy goals as Republicans weigh a difficult 2026 midterm environment and House Speaker Mike Johnson tells donors redistricting could net 7 to 8 seats.
