Harris Criticism of SAVE Act With 70% Support Fuels Conservative Push

Summary
Kamala Harris’s warning that voters would have to “prove who you are” under the SAVE Act was rapidly recast by conservatives as an endorsement of the Republican-backed bill.
Her video argued the measure would force Americans to show documents such as passports or birth certificates, creating obstacles to voter registration for eligible voters.
Donald Trump amplified the clip by pinning it on Truth Social as he keeps pressing Republicans to pass the stalled legislation, which the House has approved multiple times.
Republicans say voter ID and proof-of-citizenship rules are common-sense safeguards backed by more than 70% of the public, while Democrats argue the bill could disenfranchise voters.
The fight lands as Congress is out of session and the midterms near, with 14 states and Washington, D.C., still not requiring most in-person voters to show ID.
