唐纳德·特朗普总统宣称，在参议院通过选民身份证立法之前，他不会签署任何新法案，这一表态可能会破坏他自己的立法优先事项，并使内阁新增成员的确认程序受阻。
特朗普希望参议院共和党人通过”冗长辩论”（talking filibuster）强行推动《保护美国选民资格（SAVE）法案》在参议院通过，即使这意味着要占用参议院最宝贵的资源：议事时间。
“这必须立即完成。它优先于其他所有事项。必须放在最前面。作为总统，在该法案通过之前，我不会签署其他法案，”特朗普在Truth Social上表示。

但与此同时，参议院正陷入是否重新开启美国国土安全部（DHS）的争论中，而该部门已进入停摆的第四周。一位白宫官员告诉福克斯新闻数字版，特朗普”指的是其他法案，而不是国土安全部的资金”。
“如果民主党人做正确的事，通过国土安全部的资金，总统当然会为该机构提供资金，”这位官员表示。
特朗普的这一命令和推动参议院使用冗长辩论的做法，加剧了对参议院多数党领袖约翰·桑恩（南达科他州共和党人）的压力。桑恩誓言会对该法案进行投票，但无法保证法案会通过。
当被问及特朗普和社交媒体上越来越多推动使用冗长辩论的运动时，桑恩表示：”很多这类言论，都来自那种付费网红生态系统。”
“但有很多人支持这种做法，”桑恩说，”就像我说的，我们大多数人，不是所有人，但在共和党参议员中，对这一政策有很强的支持。但最终如何达成结果的过程，我仍然不清楚。”

共和党人还在努力推进特朗普支持的大规模经济适用房一揽子计划，考虑可能的补充支出计划以补充对伊朗冲突的弹药，并推进对俄克拉荷马州共和党参议员马克韦恩·马伦的确认程序，他是总统最新任命的国土安全部负责人。
参议院多数党党鞭约翰·巴拉萨（怀俄明州共和党人）指出，共和党目前的首要任务是为国土安全部提供资金。
“民主党人现在阻碍了这一进程，”巴拉萨在”周日早间展望”节目中告诉玛丽亚·巴蒂罗莫，”当今对美国人民最大的威胁是恐怖主义。”
尽管《SAVE美国法案》得到了大多数共和党参议员的支持，但由于民主党人采取强硬立场反对，在参议院通过该法案并不容易。
参议院少数党领袖查克·舒默（纽约州民主党人）重申，该法案是”吉姆·克劳2.0版本。它会剥夺数千万人的选举权。”
“如果特朗普说在通过《SAVE法案》之前不会签署任何法案，那就这样吧：参议院将陷入全面僵局，”舒默在X平台上表示，”无论如何，参议院民主党人不会帮助通过《SAVE法案》。”
桑恩保证，尽管舒默和民主党反对，选民身份证法案将在参议院进行投票：”我们会进行投票”

转向冗长辩论也不太可能，因为共和党人最担心的是这会占用数百小时的辩论时间。但另一个因素是，共和党人可能在是否否决民主党提出的修正案上无法达成一致。
进一步复杂化的是，特朗普想要的是哪个版本的《SAVE美国法案》。
众议院共和党人上月推进了《SAVE美国法案》，该法案要求投票时出示选民身份证，登记联邦选举时需提供公民身份证明，要求各州主动核实并移除非公民选民登记名单，扩大与包括国土安全部在内的联邦机构的信息共享以核实公民身份，并对非公民登记投票制定新的刑事处罚。

但特朗普要求共和党人”全力以赴”制定一项法案，要求出示选民身份证和公民身份证明，禁止邮寄选票（军人、患病、残疾或有旅行问题者除外），禁止男性参加女子体育比赛，以及”禁止对儿童进行变性手术（ mutilation）！”
这一版本的法案需要再次经过众议院，然后才能提交参议院。它能否在任一议院获得通过仍是未知数。桑恩承认特朗普希望对法案进行修改，但仍坚持冗长辩论或废除现行的冗长辩论规则可能不会发生。
“我一直说的一件事是，我已经告诉过他和其他人，我不能保证结果。我不能保证会有什么结果，”桑恩说，”如果唯一的结果是通过废除立法冗长辩论规则实现的，我们没有足够的票数。所以这不是一个现实的选择。我已经向所有提问的人明确表示了这一点。”

Trump demands SAVE Act vote as Thune says path forward ‘still unclear’ | Fox News
Schumer vows ‘total gridlock’ as Democrats refuse to support SAVE America Act under any circumstances

President Donald Trump’s declaration that he won’t sign any new bills until the Senate passes voter ID legislation threatens to derail his own legislative priorities and sideline confirmation of the newest addition to his Cabinet.
Trump wants Senate Republicans to ram the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act through the upper chamber with the talking filibuster, even at the cost of the Senate’s most valuable commodity: floor time.
“It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed,” Trump said on Truth Social.

But that comes as the Senate is wrestling with reopening the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which entered its fourth week of being shut down. A White House official told Fox News Digital that Trump was “referring to other bills, not DHS funding.”
“If the Democrats do the right thing and pass funding for DHS, the president will, of course, fund the agency,” the official said.
Trump’s edict and push for the Senate to turn to the talking filibuster has intensified the pressure on Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., who has vowed to have a vote on the bill, but could not guarantee it would pass.
When asked about the growing campaign from both Trump and social media to use the talking filibuster, Thune said, “A lot of that is, it’s in that kind of, you know, paid influencer ecosystem.”
“But there’s a lot of support for it,” Thune said. “Like I said, we’re, I think, for the most part, not everybody, but there’s a lot of really strong support among Republican senators for the policy. But the process and how do you ultimately try and get a result is still unclear to me.”

Republicans are also working to advance a massive affordable housing package that Trump backs, to consider a likely supplemental spending package to resupply munitions for the conflict with Iran, and go through the confirmation process for Sen. Markwayne Mullin, R-Okla., the president’s latest pick to lead DHS.
Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso, R-Wyo., noted that the top priority for the GOP right now is funding DHS.
“The Democrats have blocked that right now,” Barrasso told Maria Bartiromo on “Sunday Morning Futures.” “And the greatest threat to the American people today is terrorism.”
And while the SAVE America Act is supported by most Senate Republicans, it’s not an easy bill to pass in the upper chamber, given the hardline stance Senate Democrats have taken against it.
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., reiterated that the bill is “Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people.”
“If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate,” Schumer said on X. “Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.”

Turning to the talking filibuster is unlikely, too, because of a major fear among Republicans it would dominate floor time for hundreds of hours of debate. But another factor is that there may not be unity among Republicans to kill amendments put forth by Senate Democrats.
Further complicating matters is which version of the SAVE America Act Trump wants.
House Republicans advanced the SAVE America Act last month, which would require voter ID to vote, proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections, mandate states to actively verify and remove noncitizens from voter rolls, expand information sharing with federal agencies, including DHS, to verify citizenship and create new criminal penalties for registering noncitizens to vote.

But Trump asked Republicans to “GO FOR THE GOLD” with a bill to show voter ID and proof of citizenship, nix mail-in ballots except for military service members or people with illnesses, disabilities or travel issues, no men in women’s sports and “NO TRANSGENDER [MUTILATION] FOR CHILDREN!”
That version of the bill would again have to go through the House before making its way to the Senate. Whether it could survive either chamber is an open question. Thune acknowledged that Trump wanted a modified iteration of the bill, but still remained firm that the talking filibuster, or nuking the current filibuster, likely weren’t going to happen.
“The one thing I’ve said all along is, and I’ve told him and others that I can’t guarantee an outcome. I can’t guarantee a result,” Thune said. “If the result is only achieved by nuking the legislative filibuster, we don’t have the votes to do that. And so that’s just not a realistic option. And I’ve made that clear to anybody who’s asked.”
