""While Republicans keep the Senate in session to try and pass their dangerous SAVE act, they also tried to push through a ridiculous ban on transgender athletes. We blocked it.""
""The president has stressed the importance of this bill to him, saying that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress sends him the SAVE Act.""
""Even conservative attempts to estimate the number of non-citizens who have voted illegally in U.S. elections have only found a handful of such instances.""
""It seems as if he believes that attaching these anti-trans riders to the SAVE America Act would make the bill so popular that it would have to pass.""
The SAVE Act, requiring proof of citizenship for voting, faced an amendment from Republicans to include anti-trans policies. The White House claimed the bill would restrict trans participation in sports and health care, despite these provisions not being in the original bill. Democrats successfully defeated the amendment 49-41. The president emphasized the bill's importance, asserting he would not sign other legislation until it passed, despite lacking evidence of widespread illegal voting by undocumented immigrants.
