Here’s What Trump Demanded From Republican Senators Behind Closed Doors

George Caldwell | Pedro Rodriguez

President Donald Trump made a rare visit to the U.S. Capitol Wednesday, where he demanded Republican Senators unite to pass the SAVE America Act and harshly reprimanded Republicans who have opposed him on the Iran war.

“The president wants the SAVE Act, and that was the theme of pretty much the entire luncheon,” Sen. John Kennedy, R-La., told reporters after a closed-door meeting, referencing a bill which would require photo identification and proof of citizenship in elections. 

Kennedy added the president was “very upset” about a recent Senate vote in which the chamber voted to deprive him of his power to use military force against Iran.

Trump was invited by Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., who for months has been championing the SAVE America Act.

“I think we had a really great meeting,” Trump told reporters. “We’re very proud of the party. We like our leader, we like everybody, really, in the room. I don’t like a few people, but that’s okay. I think you know who they are.”
