In a Truth Social post, he called for prohibiting male participation in women\u2019s sports and for banning transgender surgeries for minors\u2014two provisions not previously highlighted in his posts about the legislation. The SAVE America Act, lead by Rep. Chip Roy and Sen. Mike Lee, would require proof of citizenship and voter ID to register, would restrict mail-in voting to certain cases (though the current bill does not include a blanket ban on mail-in ballots), and would require states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls (a provision Trump did not reiterate in his latest demands).The bill is an edited version of the SAVE Act that has cleared the House twice but stalled in the Senate, where 53 Republicans exist, meaning some Democrats would need to support it. A Texas angle features Texas Attorney General Ken paxton offering to drop his primary challenge to Sen. John Cornyn if the Senate passes the act, with Trump expected to endorse Cornyn but not yet announced.
