Some GOP senators say they will vote to cancel recess over SAVE America Act

Senate conservatives led by Sen. Mike Lee are pushing to cancel the August recess to force debate on the SAVE America Act — President Trump’s top legislative priority.
The bill would tighten voting rules (proof of citizenship to register, photo ID to vote, limits on mail‑in ballots) but has repeatedly failed in the Senate and lacks Democratic support.
Several Republicans — including some facing tough reelection and senators like Thom Tillis — say the measure is effectively dead or warn against rushing major voting‑rule changes before the 2026 midterms.
