President Donald Trump is set to meet with Senate Republicans on Wednesday to discuss key legislation, including the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act. The meeting comes as Senate Republicans are hungry for wins ahead of the midterm elections and are seeking a path forward on several contentious issues.

Legislative Agenda

The SAVE America Act, which aims to require proof of citizenship for voting, is a top priority for Trump and many Senate Republicans. However, the bill has stalled in the Senate due to lack of support from Democrats and some Republicans. Trump has expressed his commitment to passing the bill, saying, “We have to get – we have to pass the SAVE America Act, which is voter ID, which is proof of citizenship, etc. We have to pass it.”

Other items on the agenda for the meeting include the memorandum of understanding with Iran and the reauthorization of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA). Senate Majority Leader John Thune has expressed skepticism about the prospects of passing the SAVE America Act, citing a lack of Republican support.

Republican Divisions

The meeting also comes as Senate Republicans are grappling with internal divisions over several issues, including immigration and foreign policy. Some Republicans have expressed frustration with Trump’s abrupt decisions and his willingness to challenge the party’s establishment. Despite these divisions, many Republicans are eager to work with Trump to achieve their legislative goals.

Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., who invited Trump to the meeting, has laid out a roadmap of legislative goals for the next six months, including passage of the SAVE America Act. Scott has emphasized the need for Republicans to demonstrate a clear distinction between themselves and Democrats, saying, “We need to make a clear distinction as to who the good guys are and who the bad guys are.”
