Trump presses Republicans for voting restrictions ahead of midterm elections

On March 9, U.S. President Donald J. Trump pressed House Republicans at his Doral golf club to enact sweeping voting restrictions and warned, "I'm not going to sign anything until this is approved," Trump said.
House Republicans previously passed the SAVE America Act in February, which first emerged two years ago amid Mr Trump’s claims about noncitizen voting.
The bill would impose a proof of citizenship requirement, photo ID requirement, and mail-in ballots restriction, while the latest version remains in the U.S. Senate for consideration.
Party operatives fear Mr Trump’s push could demotivate Republican voters and imperil the party’s slim House majority as Democrats say the measure suppresses votes.
Senate math complicates the plan: under the filibuster rule, the bill needs 60 votes but Republicans hold a 53-47 majority, though they used budget reconciliation last year for One Big Beautiful Bill.
