SAVE America Act fails in the Senate as GOP defections doom Trump’s voting restrictions

The U.S. Senate rejected the SAVE America Act, a voting restrictions bill backed by President Donald Trump, with a 48-50 vote. The bill, which would require voters to show citizenship documents and photo IDs, failed to advance due to Republican defections and Democratic opposition. Critics argue it would disrupt midterms, while supporters claim it addresses noncitizen voting.
