PALM BEACH, Florida – President Donald Trump on Sunday announced he would not sign any other legislation into law until the SAVE America Act requiring voter identification and proof of citizenship is passed by Congress.
“It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE,” Trump said on Truth Social.
“I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION – GO FOR THE GOLD: MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY – ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!!”
He also posted two other messages with the same theme, saying: “PASS THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, NOW. It’s all people care about!!!”
“The United States Senate should focus on, exclusively if necessary, THE SAVE AMERICA ACT!!! It’s what everyone wants!!!”
On Friday, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced he would consider dropping out of the U.S. Senate race in Texas against Republican Sen. John Cornyn if the Senate filibuster were ended and the SAVE America act gets passed.
“The Save America Act is the most important bill the U.S. Senate could ever pass, and I’m committed to helping President Trump get it done,” said the Republican Paxton.
“I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act.”

Trump’s new push for the act came after viewing Scott Pressler, founder of Early Vote Action, telling Rachel Campos-Duffy on “Fox & Friends” Sunday that he was “stunned” by Paxton’s offer.
“I was stunned,” Pressler said. “I mean, gosh, what a noble thing for Attorney General Ken Paxton to do to sacrifice his own political ambition on behalf of the American people, putting the bill ahead of his own politics. And so I thank him for that. I think that is going a long way in getting other senators on board at the SAVE America Act.”

“I also want to give a shout out to Sen. Cornyn. He just made a statement yesterday in support of the talking filibuster. And so I’m more hopeful than ever, Rachel, that we can finally move forward with hopefully getting this legislation signed into law by the president.”
A Fox News poll shows 84 percent of the public support requiring a valid photo ID to prove citizenship before voting.
