Trump bats down SAVE America Act compromise route
President Donald Trump refused to consider a compromise to enact parts of the SAVE America Act hours after he canceled signing a housing bill on Capitol Hill Wednesday afternoon.
TL;DR
- President Trump will not compromise on the SAVE America Act, which includes provisions for voter ID and proof of citizenship.
- He expressed willingness for limited mail-in ballots for military, ill, handicapped, or vacationing individuals, but voiced concerns about rigged elections.
- The SAVE America Act also proposes a federal ban on biological men competing in women's sports.
- Trump previously canceled the signing of the 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, suggesting he would delay signing it until the SAVE America Act is passed.
- The president did not clarify whether he would veto the housing bill if it reaches his desk.
