GOP Lawmaker Criticizes Senate Republicans Over SAVE America Act Stalemate
Representative Greg Steube, a Republican from Florida, has publicly criticized Senate Republicans for stalling the SAVE America Act, a piece of legislation aimed at requiring proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration in federal elections. Steube's comments, made on the social media platform X, called for Senate leadership to bypass the filibuster to advance the bill, which has already passed the House. The act is a priority for President Trump, who has urged Senate Republicans to consider changing procedural rules to pass the bill with a simple majority. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has resisted these calls, citing internal opposition and potential negative consequences if Democrats regain control. The bill faces uniform opposition from Senate Democrats, who argue it could disenfranchise eligible voters.
