Hawley fumes after 4 GOP senators help sink Trump-backed voter ID law
- Four Republican senators—Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Thom Tillis—joined Democrats to block an amendment that would attach the Trump-backed SAVE Act voter ID law to a $70 billion budget reconciliation package focused on border security.
- The SAVE Act mandates documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and photo ID to vote in federal elections, aiming to tighten election rules federally.

- Opponents argued that voter ID laws should be decided at the state level, while Hawley maintained that Congress has long played a role in federal election integrity and predicted public demand for such laws will increase.
