President Trump meets with Senate Republicans to push passage of the SAVE America Act.
President Trump is scheduled to attend a Senate GOP lunch on Wednesday to pressure senators to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has stated there are not enough votes to overcome Democratic opposition or to eliminate the filibuster. The meeting also comes amid tensions over the Iran war and government surveillance powers.
