Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump has intensified pressure on Republicans to push for the passage of a controversial bill aimed at addressing non-citizen voting. This move comes as the House is set to vote on a six-month funding plan that includes the voting legislation, with expectations that the bill may not pass.
Trump made a strong statement on Truth Social, stating, 'If Republicans don’t get the SAVE Act in its entirety, they should not agree to a Continuing Resolution under any circumstances.'
Earlier this week, it was announced that the House would be voting on the six-month funding extension, which incorporates the voting measure known as the SAVE Act.
The SAVE Act, short for Secure America’s Voting Eligibility, is a bill that aims to address concerns about non-citizens participating in U.S. elections. The legislation has been a point of contention between Republicans and Democrats, with differing views on its necessity and potential impact.
Trump's call for Republicans to stand firm on the SAVE Act highlights the significance of the issue for the GOP and the broader political landscape. The outcome of the House vote on the funding plan will likely have implications for the future of the SAVE Act and the government's operations.
As the debate over the SAVE Act continues, both sides are gearing up for a potentially contentious showdown over the funding bill and the inclusion of the voting legislation. The outcome of these deliberations will shape the direction of the Republican Party's stance on non-citizen voting and could have far-reaching consequences for future elections.
