Republicans fail to attach SAVE America Act to party-line funding package
Four Republican senators joined Democrats in voting against a citizenship verification measure early Thursday morning

Published April 23, 2026 3:23pm EDT

A cohort of Senate Republicans joined Democrats to sink a late-night attempt to attach a version of voter ID and citizenship verification legislation to the GOP’s bill funding federal immigration enforcement.

Sens. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Susan Collins, R-Maine, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., all voted against a modified version of the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act early Thursday morning.

Their defection came during the Senate’s marathon "vote-a-rama," where lawmakers could force votes on any number of amendments, regardless of whether they mesh with the underlying budget blueprint.

The amendment’s 48-to-50 failure crystallized what several Republicans had warned for weeks before launching a quasi-floor takeover to debate the SAVE America Act last month — it didn’t have the support among the GOP to pass.

No matter what the legislation is, if it threatens the status quo, there will always be just enough Republicans to vote with the Democrats in order to kill the legislation. Which Republicans vote with the Democrats will depend on whether those Republicans are up for re-election soon, or how safe their seat is. This happens in both the Senate and the House.

This is why the term "Uniparty" exists.

America should be run for the benefit of Americans, not for foreigners, not for corporations.
