Donald Trump on Monday redoubled pressure on Republican lawmakers in the House of Representatives to support a budget resolution that paves the way for the approval of the SAVE America Act, a controversial electoral reform that the White House seeks to turn into law before the November legislative elections.

Through his social network Truth Social, Trump called for closing ranks around the initiative and the strategy promoted by the Republican leadership in Congress.

"I ask all House Republicans to vote in favor of the budget resolution this week, as it is an important first step in achieving the passage of a budget bill. House Republicans must unite and fight for the America Save Act!" wrote the president.

The proposal seeks to tighten the requirements to participate in federal elections by requiring official photo identification to vote, proof of citizenship when registering and limiting the use of voting by mail, except in exceptional cases.

“We must require photo identification to vote, proof of citizenship and, hopefully, eliminate corrupt mail-in ballots (except in cases of illness, disability, military service or travel),” Trump said in his message.

The president also thanked the leader of the House of Representatives, Mike Johnson, for incorporating the SAVE America Act into the budget package, a legislative maneuver that seeks to increase its chances of advancing in the Senate through the budget reconciliation process, although specialists warn that the inclusion of an electoral reform could face obstacles due to the parliamentary rules of that chamber.

The initiative has already been approved by the House of Representatives, but remains blocked in the Senate due to Democratic opposition and doubts among some Republicans about the viability of using the budget mechanism to approve changes of this nature.

Democrats, civil rights organizations and election experts say the legislation could make it harder for millions of Americans to vote, especially low-income people, older adults and voters whose documents don't match their official records.
