House Passes $10 Billion SAVE America Bill as Trump Pressures Senate for August Action

3 articles · Updated · POLITICO · Jul 24

$10 billion in the House-passed reconciliation bill would reward states that adopt parts of Trump’s SAVE America voting overhaul, putting the measure back before the Senate.
Trump wants proof-of-citizenship and photo ID requirements added to voting and mail voting sharply curtailed, and the White House says he wants as much of the plan enacted by the August recess.
Senate passage remains doubtful because the voting provisions are unlikely to satisfy reconciliation rules, a major obstacle in a chamber where Republicans hold only 50 seats.
That impasse has sharpened tensions between Trump and Senate Majority Leader John Thune, with Trump accusing the Senate of killing bills and Thune telling the White House to help find votes instead of blaming Republicans.
