Sen. Bill Cassidy pushed back after President Donald Trump criticized him and other Republican senators over the SAVE America Act. Cassidy said he supports the latest version and called Trump’s reported delay in signing a housing bill irresponsible.
Trump criticized five Republican senators on Truth Social for not supporting the SAVE America Act, saying it requires photo identification and proof of citizenship to vote and bars most mail-in ballots. He said the House had approved the measure three times and accused opponents of enabling cheating. Cassidy responded that he cosponsors and supports the latest version, while questioning whether Trump had been misinformed.
Cassidy also criticized Trump for postponing the signing of a housing bill over the SAVE Act, saying relief for high housing costs should be delivered promptly.
