Donald Trump criticized Senate Republican leader John Thune for not forcing a vote on the Save America Act, a bill that would impose strict new voting rules amid the midterms.
Trump has pressured Congress, insisting he will not sign other legislation until the bill reaches his desk, while Thune says the Senate lacks the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.
The bill, passed by the House, includes measures like voter ID requirements, proof of citizenship for registration, and bans on mail voting and certain medical procedures for minors, which divide Republicans.
Voting rights advocates warn it could disenfranchise millions, particularly married women or those without proper documentation, and could disrupt elections already underway, The Guardian has reported.
Some GOP senators, including John Cornyn, are shifting positions to support the bill and align with Trump, framing Democrats as blocking the legislation through procedural rules.
