Sen. Mark Warner misstated Virginia’s voter identification rules during a recent appearance on ABC’s “This Week,” prompting host Jonathan Karl to correct him on air about whether the state requires a photo ID to vote.
Sen. Bill Hagerty said on Fox News that Democrats’ resistance to the Republican-backed SAVE America Act is tied to illegal immigration, arguing that voter ID and citizenship checks are broadly popular. Sen. Susan Collins said she supports the House-passed bill but only if Republicans do not try to weaken or eliminate the Senate filibuster—leaving the measure with a steep 60-vote hurdle.

Former President Donald Trump has urged Republicans to pass a national voter ID law before the midterm elections, threatening to issue an executive order if Congress fails to do so. This follows the House passage of the SAVE America Act, which requires photo ID and proof of citizenship for voting. Trump emphasized the issue in a Truth Social post, citing strong public support for such measures.
