Senate Majority Leader John Thune announces the SAVE America Act, requiring strict proof of citizenship for federal elections. Despite President Trumps demand, Republicans lack votes to overcome a filibuster. Democrats oppose the measure, claiming it could disenfranchise millions. Thune rules out changing Senate rules or prolonged filibusters. Republicans plan to bring the bill to the floor next week, forcing Democrats to go on record against noncitizen voting. Trump seeks to expand the bill with additional restrictions, but House leaders consider tweaks, potentially leading to a fresh version for Senate review. The Senate aims for a straightforward debate and vote soon, highlighting midterm divisions despite federal law already mandating citizenship for national elections.
