Trump Cancels Housing Bill for SAVE Act

Trump announced that he is canceling the bill signing for the housing bill that you all were

just talking about. He said he's canceling it until the SAVE Act is passed and he called this

housing bill which passed with such bipartisan support of minor importance and said it pales

in comparison to the SAVE Act. What is your reaction? Yeah, my reaction is the truth of the

matter. I spoke to the President for 20 minutes before I went in and gave that rousing speech to

the House Republicans this morning. He and I have talked about this a lot. He has expressed his

the priority and the preference of the SAVE America Act. We share that. We passed it three

times in the House. The latest version was passed a few months ago and it has proof of citizenship

to register to vote and the proof of showing a photo ID when you show up to vote. Basic issues

that 90% of Americans agree, 70% of Democrats think you ought to have a photo ID to vote,

and citizenship to vote in an American election is already in the law. But we have to enforce it

because you've got a few blue states that don't do that. The President believes in election

integrity. He talks about it all the time and we do as well. In act and deed, we have stood for

that. We passed the SAVE America Act again. Here's this. Let me finish this. This is very

important. That is the top priority because if you do not have safe elections in this grand

experiment in self-governance that we have in a Constitutional Republic, you don't have anything

and we've got to ensure it. We have to press for election integrity measures. That's why

we've made it a top priority. It has been stuck in the Senate and here's why. Because no Democrat

in the House or Senate will vote for the SAVE America Act. Those two things I just told you.

They vote against that every single time and they will. Why? That's a rhetorical question.

You should go ask them the actual question.
