Trump's SAVE America Act shows signs of life in the Senate despite Republican revolt

Senate Republicans have struggled to move the ball on President Donald Trump's voter ID and citizenship verification bill, but a late-night vote in the upper chamber breathed some life into an issue once thought dead.

During the Senate’s marathon "vote-a-rama" to advance the GOP’s $70 billion immigration enforcement package, Republicans tried twice to attach the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act to the massive bill.

They failed both times, with a cohort of Republicans joining Senate Democrats to stymie the effort, which was destined to fail either way given that the amendments from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., and Mike Lee, R-Utah, had to break through the filibuster. ....But Lee’s attempt did hit 50 votes, with Collins flipping her vote to support the original version of the SAVE America Act.

Lee cheered the moment on X shortly after as the vote-a-rama still raged and noted that, with Vice President JD Vance serving as a possible 51st vote, the SAVE America Act could pass.

yeah, I heard about RINO Susan all of a sudden hopping aboard. Look at CA and the fiasco going on there, anyone that's not a D should want to pass SAVE. That Nazi she'll face this fall is against SAVE, of course. Can't make it too hard to cheat.

She's up for re-election otherwise I believe she wouldn't have voted to pass SAVE.

Sounds like there may be some leverage over her to use, if they will use it.

WOW!  President Trump just ADDED the SAVE AMERICA ACT to his $350 billion Pentagon reconciliation package, which only needs a SIMPLE MAJORITY (50+JD Vance) to pass

"I am hereby calling on Republicans in Congress to IMMEDIATELY advance and pass the forthcoming $350 Billion Reconciliation Bill (Recon 3.0) — which, at the request of our Great Department of War — will include THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as well. No games, no delays, and no weak compromises! Do this ASAP."

"Pass ALL $350 BILLION and THE SAVE AMERICA ACT to secure the NATION for our children and grandchildren." 🇺🇸

Fire the parliamentarian so she can't strike it down!
