Trump says he won’t sign any bills into law until SAVE America Act passes

President Trump on Sunday threatened to not sign any bills into law until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is approved by the Senate, doubling down on his push to change voting requirements ahead of the midterm elections.

“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY,” the president wrote in his Sunday morning Truth Social post.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment on whether the president will sign a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security amid the partial government shutdown.

The leader has pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to use a talking filibuster to pass the bill, which was approved by the House in February.

The filibuster would force Democrats to speak continuously on the Senate floor to delay a vote on the bill. But, if they cede the floor, Republicans could circumvent the need for a 60-vote majority and pass the measure with just 51 votes.

I mean, that’s what used to be required for a filibuster. Talking. Remember, almost every Democrat in the House, 213 of them, voted against the SAVE Act, an issue that most Americans want. Heck, even this

Two-Thirds Back ‘SAVE Act’ To Require Voter ID — And Support Is Bipartisan: I&I/TIPP Poll

The bitter debate between Democrats and Republicans over the SAVE Act — which would require voters to provide a valid ID to cast a ballot — has roiled political waters as both major parties gird themselves for the 2026 midterms. But do voters care? They sure do, and it’s not good news for the Democrats, the latest I&I/TIPP Poll results indicate.

The online poll, taken from Feb. 24 to Feb. 27 by 1,456 adults nationwide, asked voters: “The SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) is a proposed federal law that would require individuals to present identification and prove U.S. citizenship to vote in federal elections. What comes closer to your view?”

The results weren’t really close. A hefty 64% agreed with the statement that “It is a good idea and would help ensure that only eligible citizens are able to vote.”

Meanwhile, just 24% agreed with “It is a bad idea and could prevent some eligible voters from casting a ballot.” The remaining 12% were “not sure.”

Even among Dems, 47% say it’s “good idea,” versus 42% who say it’s a “bad idea,” a 5-point edge. But the idea is by far strongest among Republicans (85% “good,” 9% “bad”), followed by independents and third-party voters (59% “good,” 26% “bad”).

And, really, this is one of the lower polls I’ve seen. Many call it an 80/20 issue, with 80% wanting, yet, Democrats take the side of the 20%. If the US Congress cannot pass a law that the majority of Americans want then maybe it is time to dissolve the Congress and start over.
