President Donald Trump is meeting with Republican senators on Capitol Hill to discuss his agenda, including the SAVE America Act, a voting bill that would create strict new requirements for voters to prove citizenship and show voter ID at the polls.

Trump’s Agenda

Trump has been pushing the Senate to eliminate the filibuster and pass the legislation, which would also ban mail-in ballots and include unrelated provisions to block sex reassignment surgeries on some minors and prevent people born as men from playing in women’s sports.

Some Republican senators, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune, have expressed concerns about the bill’s chances of passing, citing the lack of Democratic support and the need for 60 votes to overcome a filibuster.

Senator Reactions

Senator Thom Tillis of North Carolina said he hopes the meeting will be conciliatory, while Senator Mike Lee of Utah has been advocating for the bill’s passage on social media, echoing Trump’s claims that Republicans can’t win elections unless the bill passes.

Other topics that may be discussed at the meeting include Trump’s announcement to delay the nomination of Jay Clayton to become national intelligence director and the war in Iran.
