House Passes SAVE America Act as Part of MUST-PASS National Security Bill — Rep. Thomas Massie Votes No
House Republicans delivered a major victory for election integrity on Wednesday after passing the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) with the SAVE America Act language included, sending the combined legislation to the Senate in a 217-209 vote.
The move marks the latest escalation in President Donald Trump's push to require proof of U.S. citizenship for voter registration and strengthen voter identification requirements before the 2026 midterm elections.
The vote came after weeks of intense pressure from conservative lawmakers and grassroots activists who demanded that Speaker Mike Johnson ensure the SAVE America Act was attached to must-pass legislation rather than allowing it to languish in the Senate.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, the House first approved a special rules resolution to attach the SAVE America Act to the NDAA, overcoming fierce Democrat opposition. Every Democrat voted against that procedural measure, with only one Republican, Rep. Randy Fine from Florida, joining them.
