Trump Warns He Will ‘Be the Last Republican President’ If His Voter ID Bill Doesn’t Pass

Trump said ending the rule is needed to pass the SAVE America Act and warned Democrats would scrap it if they regain power.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump demanded Senate Republicans eliminate the filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, calling for a simple-majority system to advance his legislative agenda.
  • The SAVE America Act, part of a $350 billion spending package, passed the House in February but remains stalled in the Senate, where Democrats oppose the voter ID requirements as unfair hurdles.
  • Trump alleged Democrats will "rapidly proceed to destroy our Country," expand the Supreme Court to 21 justices, and labeled filibuster opponents a "FOOL." His warnings escalated the pressure on Republicans.
  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other Republicans face a mathematical hurdle: the necessary 60 votes are absent. Senator John Kennedy told Fox News on Tuesday the party is "bound by arithmetic."
  • Democrats would likely allow the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act to expire rather than pass the act, which Thune resisted attaching to the bill. Trump warned he could be the "last Republican President" without action.
