House speaker pledges 'one more' attempt to pass no-frills version of Trump's voter ID bill

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced plans for a fourth attempt to pass the SAVE Act, a voter ID bill requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and a photo ID at the polls. Johnson stated that the House will bring the bill back after the July 4 recess and emphasized that the version being pushed would exclude provisions related to mail-in ballots, transgender athlete policies, and restrictions on transgender medical care for minors. The bill has faced resistance in the Senate, primarily from some Republicans who oppose it due to concerns about implementation costs and timing during an active election year. Senator Lisa Murkowski argued that the law would force states to implement new voting rules mid-election cycle without federal funding. Meanwhile, former President Donald Trump endorsed the bill, calling it essential to maintaining American greatness and advocating for stricter limits on mail-in voting.
