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

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.

No need to threaten Senators to eliminate it.

In fact, it is NOT popular enough to pass under normal procedures and is not popular with the American people.

Had best think twice about supporting this. They might as well come out and say.."We do not want married or divorced women to vote!" Do they favor REPEALING the 19th Amendment??? NOT going to happen!

NO WAY is there 60 votes in FAVOR of disenfranchising married/divorced American women from voting. Women in Government roles from Federal, State, and Local Governments will not be in favor of this. Many women take on their husband's name at marriage and the MAGAts know that! Many women do not have a boatload of paperwork to PROVE who they are either.

The SAVE Act is DOA in the US Senate.

I can’t picture any of them going to the mat to preserve their wives’ right to vote. They are there to serve Trump above all else.
