<p>Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) doubled down on his party&#8217;s opposition to President Donald Trump, vowing on Sunday that Democrats in the U.S. Senate would never &#8220;help&#8221; Republicans to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that the bill&#8217;s main focus — requiring valid proof of citizenship for voter registration — is popular among voters regardless of party, Schumer shared a post on X referring to the SAVE Act as &#8220;Jim Crow 2.0&#8221; and claiming that millions of people would be &#8220;disenfranchised&#8221; if it were to pass.</p>
<p>&#8220;The SAVE Act is Jim Crow 2.0. It would disenfranchise tens of millions of people,&#8221; Schumer <a href="https://x.com/SenSchumer/status/2030666289602072866">complained</a>. &#8220;If Trump is saying he won’t sign any bills until the SAVE Act is passed, then so be it: there will be total gridlock in the Senate. Senate Democrats will not help pass the SAVE Act under any circumstances.&#8221;</p>
<p>Schumer&#8217;s statement came just hours after Trump <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/front-of-the-line-trump-says-he-wont-sign-a-thing-until-save-act-hits-his-desk">announced</a> early Sunday that he intended to prioritize the SAVE Act — nicknamed by Republicans the SAVE America Act — and would not sign anything else until he saw it on his desk.</p>
<p>Praising calls for Senate Republicans to use the traditional — &#8220;talking&#8221; — filibuster to force a vote on the measure, Trump said that it had to be the top priority to &#8220;pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed.&#8221;</p>
<p>In addition to requiring proof of citizenship — either through a valid passport or a birth certificate — the SAVE Act would dramatically limit online and mail-in voter registration and would reduce mail-in balloting to military service-members or those limited by illness, disability, or travel. States would also be required to routinely examine voter rolls in order to ensure that non-citizens were not being registered to vote. Criminal penalties would apply to any officials who registered voters with improper identification.</p>
<p>Despite the fact that a majority of Americans support voter ID requirements generally (81%) and the SAVE America Act specifically (71%), according to a <a href="https://harvardharrispoll.com/press-release-february-2026/">Harvard Harris poll</a> taken just after Trump&#8217;s State of the Union address, elected Democrats like Schumer have continued to insist that requiring proof of citizenship would necessarily disenfranchise voters who cannot access the proper documents.</p>
<p>The SAVE Act passed the House in February.</p>
