Donald Trump said he's not going to sign any bills until the SAVE Act passes the Senate.

0:07.0

So by threatening to block other bills, he's basically telling Congress election security comes first.

0:13.0

Politically, it's going to push Republicans to unify around voter ID and forces Democrats to publicly oppose it before the next election cycle.

0:21.9

This is a pressure tactic on Congress, not just a policy push.

0:26.4

Yeah, this is a great move by Trump because he wins either way.

0:29.9

Either way on this, he wins.

0:31.4

Because if he puts pressure on Congress by saying, hey, I'm not signing any bills until you get this SAVE Act passed.

0:38.6

Great. And if they actually do it and pass the SAVE Act, wonderful. We've got national

1:17.6

and unsecure elections and voter fraud, and I tried to get the Save Act passed, and they

1:22.5

wouldn't push it through. Now, the problem with actually getting it pushed through is, as always, the Senate, because in the Senate, you need 60 votes or else you get a filibuster.

1:32.4

So you need those 60 votes, and there's no way that the Democrats are going to vote for this because they know it's going to potentially harm them in future elections.

1:39.5

Hey, we couldn't even get all the Republicans on board with this.

1:42.6

There were a couple of Republicans that haven't fully committed to this,
