President Donald Trump on Monday said he wants to see the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act passed, keeping the pressure on Senate Republicans to pass the measure that remains stalled in the upper chamber.

Trump wrote in his all-caps style that in the measure, all voters should show identification, they must show proof of U.S. citizenship to vote, and no mail-in ballots except for travel, military service, disability, or illness.
