Trump pushes for SAVE America Act after Supreme Court loss
President Donald Trump reacted to a major Supreme Court loss Monday by pressuring five Republican senators to flip their positions and vote to pass the SAVE America Act.
On Monday, the Supreme Court ruled against the Trump administration and upheld a Mississippi law allowing mail-in ballots to be counted if they’re postmarked by Election Day and received within five days.
The decision hamstrings a key Republican priority ahead of the 2026 midterm elections. Posting on Truth Social, the president called the ruling a “tremendous loss.”
“The fact that ‘people’s’ votes are allowed to be counted LONG AFTER an Election is over, it is more important than ever to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” he wrote.
The legislation has bottlenecked other matters on Capitol Hill, as the president said he will not sign other bills into law until the SAVE America Act passes the Senate. Trump said on Monday there was “no excuse” for politicians to oppose the following three specific provisions included in the text:
“There is only one reason to oppose — CHEATING! The House of Representatives has approved this vital Act, THREE TIMES. The United States Senate seems unable to do so,” he continued. “In a time when there is a powerful Communist Movement taking place in our Country, one more dangerous than World War I, World War II, Pearl Harbor, or September 11th, all Dumocrats, and our five Republican Senate Hold Outs, Lisa Murkowski, Susan Collins, Thom Tillis, Bill Cassidy, and Mitch McConnell must vote to SAVE OUR COUNTRY. There can be no more excuses!”
White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson told the Washington Examiner that “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,” she continued. “The president knows how critical this issue is for the American people and he will not stop fighting until it is passed.”
