President Trump meets with Senate Republicans to push passage of the SAVE America Act.
President Trump is scheduled to attend a Senate GOP lunch on Wednesday to pressure senators to pass the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and photo ID to cast a ballot. Senate Majority Leader John Thune has stated there are not enough votes to overcome Democratic opposition or to eliminate the filibuster. The meeting also comes amid tensions over the Iran war and government surveillance powers.

The split, in one line
Pro-Trump outlets frame this as fighting for election integrity, while mainstream media splits between viewing it as Trump's demands versus political reality versus holding Congress hostage, with the Washington Post now directly challenging Trump's legislative claims and questioning the SAVE Act's viability.
