US EditionMaryland U.S. Rep. Calls Out Republican-Backed SAVE America Act
The SAVE America Act would require citizenship proof and photo ID for voting, with opponents warning it could disenfranchise millions and affect the 2026 midterm elections.
- The Senate began debate on Tuesday over the SAVE America Act, a Trump-backed voter-ID bill requiring proof of citizenship to register and photo ID to cast ballots in federal elections.

- Republicans hold a 53-47 majority but lack the 60 votes needed to pass the bill; allies of Trump aim to force Senate Democrats on record on an issue they believe resonates with voters.
