President Trump on Sunday threatened to not sign any bills into law until the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is approved by the Senate, doubling down on his push to change voting requirements ahead of the midterm elections.

“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…,” the president wrote in his Sunday morning Truth Social post. 

The leader has pressed Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) to use a talking filibuster to pass the bill, which was approved by the House in February.

The filibuster would force Democrats to speak continuously on the Senate floor to delay a vote on the bill. But, once they cede the floor, Republicans could circumvent the need for a 60-vote majority and pass the measure with just 51 votes.

On Sunday, Trump again urged Thune to use this tactic to get the bill across the finish line. 

“Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS,” the president wrote, referring to the conservative activist.

“It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE,” he continued.

Thune, who ran for Senate majority leader under the committment to uphold the 60-vote threshold, has not budged on his stance despite Trump’s pressure.

The SAVE Act has ample support from House Republicans and has already passed the lower chamber three separate times over the years. Democrats, however, have pushed back on the measure, claiming it would pose challenges for registered voters and potentially inhibit people from heading to the polls.

The Hill has reached out to the White House as well as Thune and House Speaker Mike Johnson’s (R-La.) offices for comment.
