特朗普将在国会山会见共和党参议员,推动《拯救美国法案》

唐纳德·特朗普总统在国会山会见共和党参议员,游说通过《拯救美国法案》,强调推行选民身份证及其他选举诚信改革的必要性。福克斯新闻的查德·珀格伦将为您带来该游说行动的最新进展。

一名参议院共和党议员透露,即便唐纳德·特朗普总统的旗舰选举诚信立法获得通过所需票数,也没有足够时间让其在即将到来的中期选举前生效。

《保障美国选民资格法案》(即《拯救美国法案》)日益成为国会共和党人的难题,他们迫切希望推进其他必须通过的立法。但特朗普始终要求他们想方设法通过该法案,尤其是在参议院,不惜一切代价。

但共和党人并未统一支持该法案,民主党人则一致反对。即便该法案能获得60票——这一情况可能性极低——北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯也认为,该法案无法在11月的选举前发挥作用。

“除非他们努力争取到60票,否则他们都知道该法案已经死了,所有这些都只是作秀,”蒂利斯告诉总部位于北卡罗来纳州罗利的《新闻与观察家报》。

蒂利斯是上个月投票反对将该法案附加到移民执法资金法案中的四名共和党参议员之一,还遭到了特朗普的指责。他对推动选民身份证法颇为熟悉,而这只是拟议中的《拯救美国法案》的一部分内容。在担任北卡罗来纳州议会众议院议长期间,他是该州选民身份证法的主要推动者。

但他辩称,推行这类法案需要时间和资金。

“一团糟”:共和党内部指责众议院保守派,选民身份证阻挠导致特朗普议程停滞

“老实说,在北卡罗来纳州,或者几乎任何州,回想一下我们在北卡罗来纳州推行选民身份证法时,花了一年时间才落实所有事项,且获得了充足的资金,”蒂利斯说。

现行版本的《拯救美国法案》并未直接为各州落实选民身份证或其他多项条款拨款。这在一定程度上解释了为何该法案无法通过特朗普呼吁、众议院共和党人正在考虑的预算和解程序——该程序要求条款必须直接对预算产生影响,而不能仅停留在政策层面。

蒂利斯设想了一种情况:即便一切顺利,该法案也会压缩提前投票期,甚至彻底取消提前投票。

“假设我们只允许在10月进行提前投票,”蒂利斯说,“那么您真的认为我们能在50个州推行这项法案吗?没有资金,也没有具体的实施指南。”

最高法院就选举日后收到的邮寄选票作出裁决

“在我看来,对于真正推行过选民身份证法的人来说,任何人都敢当着美国选民的面说可以及时落实该法案,只会对选举造成巨大影响,而且讽刺的是,还会削弱民众对选举的信心,这简直是个笑话,”他补充道。

尽管如此,仍有一批国会共和党人, notably犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李和佛罗里达州共和党众议员安娜·保利娜·卢娜,要求参议院就该法案采取行动。

而特朗普决心施压共和党人通过该法案,要求他们废除 filibuster(议事阻挠规则),将《拯救美国法案》附加到必须通过的立法中,或解雇参议院规则仲裁员。

在最高法院裁决允许选举日后收到的邮寄选票被计票后,他再次发出了呼吁。

“鉴于今天最高法院在选民权利问题上的重大失利,以及‘民众’的选票可以在选举结束很久后被计票这一事实,通过《拯救美国法案》比以往任何时候都更加重要,”特朗普在真相社交平台上写道。

Republican says Trump’s top election priority ‘dead’ in Senate as GOP fractures ahead of midterms

July 2, 2026 3:10pm EDT / Fox News

Sen. Thom Tillis says the bill lacks implementation funding and could disrupt early voting across all 50 states

Trump to meet GOP senators on Capitol Hill to push SAVE America Act

President Donald Trump meets with GOP senators on Capitol Hill to lobby for the SAVE America Act, emphasizing the need for voter ID and other election integrity reforms. Fox News’ Chad Pergram provides the latest on the push.

A Senate Republican revealed that even if President Donald Trump’s flagship election integrity legislation had the votes to pass, there’s not enough time to actually have it take effect for the upcoming midterm elections.

The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act has increasingly become a problem for congressional Republicans desperate to move onto other must-pass legislation. But Trump has consistently demanded they find a way to pass it, particularly in the Senate, by any means necessary.

But Republicans aren’t unified behind the bill, and Democrats unanimously despise it. Even if it got 60 votes, which is an unlikely scenario, Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., contended it wouldn’t have an impact in time for November.

“Unless they do the work to get to the 60 votes, they know it’s dead, and so all this is theater,” Tillis told the Raleigh, North Carolina-based News & Observer.

Tillis, who was one of four Senate Republicans to vote against attaching the legislation to an immigration enforcement funding bill last month and was called out by Trump, is familiar with pushing for voter ID laws, which is only a portion of what the proposed SAVE America Act would do. During his time as House speaker in the North Carolina legislature, he was a major proponent of enacting the state’s voter ID.

But doing so takes time and money, he argued.

“And honestly, here in North Carolina, or in virtually any state, the ability, if we go back to when we implemented voter ID in North Carolina, it took a year to get everything in place with adequate funding,” Tillis said.

The current version of the SAVE America Act doesn’t directly allocate funding to states to implement voter ID or its several other provisions. That is, in part, why the legislation wouldn’t work in the budget reconciliation process, as Trump has called for and House Republicans are mulling, which requires provisions to have a direct budgetary impact and not be policy only.

Tillis pitched the scenario that if everything worked out, it would eat into early voting periods or outright snuff them.

“Let’s assume you only allow early voting in the month of October,” Tillis said. “Then do you honestly believe that we can have this thing up in 50 states? There’s no funding. There’s no specific implementation instructions.”

SUPREME COURT RULES ON MAIL-IN BALLOTS RECEIVED AFTER ELECTION DAY

“It’s become a joke, in my mind, for somebody that’s actually implemented voter ID law, how anybody can look the American voters in the eye and suggest that it could be implemented in time without just causing a huge impact on the elections, and ironically undermine the confidence of it,” he continued.

Still, it hasn’t stopped a cohort of congressional Republicans, notably Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., from demanding that the Senate take action on the bill.

And Trump is determined to strong-arm Republicans into passing it, demanding they nuke the filibuster, attach the SAVE America Act to must-pass legislation, or fire the Senate rules referee.

Following the Supreme Court’s decision to allow mail-in ballots to be counted after Election Day, he renewed his call.

“In light of the tremendous loss in the Supreme Court today concerning Voter’s Rights, and the fact that ‘people’s’ votes are allowed to be counted LONG AFTER an Election is over, it is more important than ever to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” Trump said on Truth Social.
