特朗普称两党住房法案“无关紧要”,相较《拯救美国法案》“不值一提”

议员们期望唐纳德·特朗普总统能将一项大规模两党住房法案签署为法律,但他认为,与《拯救美国法案》相比,该法案“无关紧要”。

唐纳德·特朗普总统正将陷入停滞的《拯救美国法案》变成国会山的一场杠杆博弈,将该法案与共和党其他无关优先事项绑定,而共和党正赶在中期选举前利用其国会多数席位。

随着中期选举窗口收窄,特朗普推动共和党通过这项停滞的选举法案,这场斗争现已波及国防开支、住房立法、参议院初选政治以及阻挠议事规则。

最新施压节点出现在周二,特朗普将这项停滞的选举法案与一项拟议的“和解3.0”方案绑定,该方案寻求新增3500亿美元国防开支。

“人人都在呼吁的《拯救美国法案》,配上我们伟大的国防部全额拨款,就能迅速获得通过,确保美利坚合众国子孙后代都能保持自由,”特朗普周二在真相社交平台上写道。

《拯救美国法案》包含特朗普长期以来追求的选民身份证和公民身份核查条款,这些内容在参议院遭遇阻碍。多年来,特朗普包括在2016年竞选期间就曾警告需要选民身份证法。

6月底,特朗普在最后一刻取消了签署《21世纪住房道路法案》的计划,并发出最后通牒,要求优先通过《拯救美国法案》。

该住房法案获得两党支持,本可扩大住房供应、降低成本,同时通过禁止大型机构投资者购买单户住宅,为个人购房者提供支持。

这一取消计划令两党议员都感到震惊,缅因州共和党参议员苏珊·柯林斯称这一决定“毫无道理”,而马萨诸塞州民主党参议员伊丽莎白·沃伦则表示特朗普在“最后一刻”拒绝签署。

“《拯救美国法案》一直是特朗普总统的首要优先事项之一,现在依然如此。这是一项符合常识的立法,得到绝大多数美国人的支持,将为我们世世代代的选举保驾护航,”白宫发言人阿比盖尔·杰克逊告诉福克斯新闻数字频道。

“总统深知这一议题对美国民众有多关键,他将持续斗争,直至法案获得通过,”杰克逊补充道。

民主党议员辩称,《拯救美国法案》会为符合资格的选民设置不必要的障碍,剥夺他们的投票权。

“事实上,在他拿到自己的《拯救美国法案》、操纵中期选举并将数百万美国公民从选民名单上剔除之前,他不会签署我们旨在最终缓解住房市场压力的两党法案。美国优先,”纽约州参议员查克·舒默说道,他在提及住房法案时使用了这一表述。

“唐纳德·特朗普认为通过一项选民压制法案是我国最重要的事情,”众议院少数党领袖哈基姆·杰弗里斯在X平台上发帖称。

最高法院维持出生公民权裁决,特朗普遭遇重大挫败

《拯救美国法案》还卷入了得克萨斯州参议院选举的争斗,这场争斗发生在总检察长肯·帕克斯顿和现任参议员约翰·康林之间,阻挠议事规则和特朗普的背书成为同一施压运动的一部分。

得克萨斯州共和党参议院候选人肯·帕克斯顿此前在3月的竞选活动中就呼吁通过该法案的重要性。

“如果参议院领导层同意取消阻挠议事规则并通过《拯救美国法案》,我会考虑退出这场竞选,”他当时在X平台上写道。

康林拒绝支持《拯救美国法案》,尽管他暗示可能重新考虑自己长期以来对阻挠议事规则的支持,在特朗普最终背书帕克斯顿之前,得克萨斯州初选的压力进一步升级。

在最高法院就出生公民权作出裁决后,特朗普也将注意力转回《拯救美国法案》,以此推进其更广泛的移民和选举议程。

最高法院裁定,父母非法或临时居留美国期间在美国出生的儿童,根据第14修正案生来就是公民,特朗普随后转而推动《拯救美国法案》,将其作为其更广泛移民和选举举措的一部分。

“最高法院维持了出生公民权的裁决,这对我们国家来说太糟糕了,但我们可以在国会通过立法轻松弥补这一点,在本次过程中已经确定了这一点,且有总统支持,”特朗普当时在真相社交平台上写道。

参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩对该法案的推进前景表示怀疑,称共和党没有获得突破民主党阻挠议事所需的60票。

特朗普已敦促参议院共和党人修改规则,以简单多数票通过该法案,同时施压民主党公开为他们依赖阻挠议事规则辩护。

特朗普警告称,如果不在11月前完成立法,《拯救美国法案》可能永远无法通过。

共和党人和政府官员加入了特朗普的运动,利用他们的公开演讲机会推动《拯救美国法案》。

副总统JD·万斯表示,通过这项要求选民身份证的立法,共和党将不再谈论选举欺诈问题。

“我们是全世界唯一一个不需要出示选民身份证就能投票的发达民主国家。这很简单。只要给我们选举诚信法案,给我们选民身份证,我们就能有信心对美国民众说,不存在作弊行为,”万斯说道。“所以别再拖延了,给美国民众提供选民身份证。”

参议院将于7月13日当周结束独立日休会返回。

Trump holds Washington hostage over SAVE Act as midterm clock ticks on GOP control

July 9, 2026 6:00am EDT / Fox News

White House says Trump ‘will not stop fighting’ until the elections security bill clears the Senate filibuster

Trump calls bipartisan housing package ‘unimportant,’ ‘a yawn’ compared to SAVE America Act

Lawmakers hope President Donald Trump signs a massive bipartisan housing package into law, but he believes that, compared to the SAVE America Act, it’s “unimportant.”

NEW You can now listen to Fox News articles!

President Donald Trump is turning the stalled SAVE America Act into a leverage fight on Capitol Hill, tying the bill to unrelated Republican priorities as the party races to use its congressional majorities before the midterms.

The fight now stretches across defense spending, housing legislation, Senate primary politics and the filibuster, as Trump pushes Republicans to move the stalled elections bill before the party’s midterm window narrows.

The latest pressure point came Tuesday, when Trump tied the stalled elections bill to a proposed “Reconciliation 3.0” package seeking $350 billion in new defense spending.

“The SAVE AMERICA ACT, which everyone is asking for, paired with the full funding of our Great Department of War, can be passed, very quickly, ensuring that the United States of America stays FREE for Generations to come,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Tuesday.

TRUMP’S SAVE AMERICA ACT SHOWS SIGNS OF LIFE IN THE SENATE DESPITE REPUBLICAN REVOLT

The SAVE America Act includes Trump’s long-sought voter ID and citizenship verification, which has faced obstacles in the Senate. Trump has warned about the need for voter ID laws for years, including from the 2016 campaign trail.

In late June, Trump announced a last-minute cancellation of the signing of the 21st Century ROAD Act of Housing, while issuing an ultimatum to get the SAVE Act passed.

The housing bill had bipartisan support and would have expanded the supply of homes and lower costs while also giving individual buyers a leg up by banning large institutional investors from purchasing single-family homes.

The cancellation came as a shock to members on both sides of the aisle, with Republican Maine Sen. Susan Collins saying the decision “made no sense,” while Democratic Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren said Trump refused to sign at the “11th hour.”

“The SAVE America Act has always been a top priority for President Trump, and it remains one. This is commonsense legislation, supported by the vast majority of Americans, that will secure our elections for generations to come,” White House spokesperson Abigail Jackson told Fox News Digital.

“The president knows how critical this issue is for the American people, and he will not stop fighting until it is passed,” Jackson added.

Democratic lawmakers have argued the SAVE Act would create unnecessary barriers for eligible voters, disenfranchising them.

“In fact, he won’t sign our bipartisan bill to finally bring relief to the housing market until he gets his SAVE Act to rig the midterms and kick millions of American citizens off the voter rolls. America First,” said New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, referencing the housing act.

“Donald Trump thinks that passing a voter suppression law is the most important thing for our country,” posted House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries on X.

The SAVE Act also became entangled in the Texas Senate fight between Attorney General Ken Paxton and incumbent Sen. John Cornyn, where the filibuster and Trump’s endorsement became part of the same pressure campaign.

Texas Republican Senate nominee Ken Paxton previously sounded the alarm on the importance of getting the bill passed during his campaign in March.

“I would consider dropping out of this race if Senate Leadership agrees to lift the filibuster and passes the SAVE America Act,” he wrote on X at the time.

Cornyn declined to back the SAVE Act even as he signaled he could reconsider his longtime support for the filibuster, sharpening the Texas primary pressure before Trump ultimately endorsed Paxton.

Trump also diverted his attention back to the SAVE Act in another move to push his immigration agenda after a Supreme Court ruling on birthright citizenship.

After the Supreme Court ruled that children born in the United States to parents unlawfully or temporarily present are citizens at birth under the 14th Amendment, Trump turned back to the SAVE Act as part of his broader immigration and elections push.

“The Supreme Court upheld Birthright Citizenship, which is too bad for our Country, but we can easily make it up in Congress through Legislation, with the support of the President, that has now been determined during this process,” Trump wrote on Truth Social at the time.

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has cast doubt on the bill’s path forward, saying Republicans do not have the 60 votes needed to overcome a Democratic filibuster.

Trump has pushed Senate Republicans to change the rules and pass the bill by a simple majority, while pressing Democrats to publicly defend their reliance on the filibuster.

Trump has sounded the alarm that the SAVE Act may never pass if it doesn’t cross the finish line before November.

Republicans and administration officials have joined Trump’s crusade by using their speaking engagements to help push the SAVE Act.

Vice President JD Vance said by passing the legislation to get voter ID, Republicans will stop talking about election fraud.

“We are the only advanced democracy anywhere in the entire world that doesn’t require you to show a voter ID to vote. It’s simple. Just give us election integrity laws, give us voter ID, and then we will have the confidence to say the American people, there’s no cheating,” said Vance. “So stop it and give the American people voter ID.”

The Senate is scheduled to return from its Independence Day recess the week of July 13.
