Former President Donald Trump has urged congressional Republicans to push for a government shutdown if their proposed hard-line voting bill, the SAVE Act, is not included in the temporary funding resolution. In a Truth Social post, Trump stated that claimed that “THE DEMOCRATS ARE TRYING TO ‘STUFF’ VOTER REGISTRATIONS WITH ILLEGAL ALIENS” and urged Republicans to shut down the government to prevent it. House Speaker Mike Johnson supports the SAVE Act, which requires proof of citizenship at the ballot box. Senate Democrats reject the bill, calling it a "poison pill."
