Rapin' Grampy claims his "SAVE my ASS" voter suppression bill is "the most popular bill ever put before Congress!" [View all]

Trump has resorted to making completely unfounded claims about the SAVE Act as he tries to get it passed through Congress.

In a late-night Truth Social post, the president claimed the bill, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and largely scrap mail-in ballots in elections, “is by far the most popular bill of its kind ever put before Congress!”

The biggest hurdle preventing the “Safeguard American Voter Eligibility” bill from clearing the Senate is that it lacks bipartisan support and is guaranteed not to secure the support of at least seven Democrats to clear the 60-vote threshold in the upper chamber.

Trump has made a number of late-night Truth Social posts promoting the bill in an effort to push it through the Senate. Critics of the SAVE Act have raised concerns that the president hopes to use the legislation as a pretext to meddle in the midterm elections in November, when Republicans are widely expected to suffer an electoral wipeout.
