Amid increasingly vocal intraparty dissension, President Donald Trump again called on Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, “at the expense of everything else,” calling the bill “a Country Defining fight for the Soul of our Nation!”

As the MAGA base fractures over the decision to attack Iran, GOP Senators excoriate some cabinet officials in hearings, and House Republicans subpoena others, Trump and his allies appear increasingly desperate to pass the SAVE America Act. Trump again took to Truth Social Thursday to press his party to enact the bill, which would require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship — like a U.S. passport, birth certificate or naturalization papers — when registering and show voter ID at the polls.

On X, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt reposted Trump’s message along with an unnamed poll claiming broad support for the proposal. The White House X account also posted in support of the bill — an apparent violation of federal ethics laws prohibiting the use of government offices for partisan lobbying.

Shortly thereafter, Trump posted again, this time seeming to suggest the SAVE America Act includes a number of provisions that are not in the proposal and mistakenly describing those that are. “THE SAVE AMERICA ACT! 1. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. (IDENTIFICATION!). 2. ALL VOTERS MUST SHOW PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP IN ORDER TO VOTE,” Trump wrote.
