Conservatives are calling on Senate Republicans to end the “zombie filibuster” to overcome Democrat opposition to the SAVE America Act, legislation that would mandate voter ID and proof of citizenship.

President Donald Trump threw his full support behind the bill in recent days, arguing that America’s elections are “rigged, stolen, and a laughingstock.”

“The SAVE [America] Act is very important,” Trump told reporters Friday. “Everybody wants it. Even with Democrats, it’s polling at 82%. With Republicans, it polls at 99%, so we’re going to be trying very hard.”

Roy announced that Speaker Mike Johnson and Majority Leader Steve Scalise will bring the bill to the House floor in the coming days.
