Trump pushes border security and voter-ID message, backs "Save America" legislation
Summary
Trump urged House Republicans to emphasize border enforcement and voter ID, repeatedly calling for the SAVE/"Save America" Act and arguing voter identification is essential to prevent fraud.
Donald J. Trump used his remarks to press Republicans to make border security and voter-identification central campaign themes. He repeated the claim that he "fixed the border" during his term and said voters no longer prioritize the border the way they once did, but that Republicans should still make it a core message.
Trump argued voter ID is a clear-cut issue for voters and called on the conference to support legislation he called the SAVE Act ("Save America" Act), describing it as "common sense" protections for elections. "You ought to have voter ID," he said, adding that when Democrats oppose it, "that means they're crooked," language presented as the speaker's political characterization.
He urged attendees to press the issue on the campaign trail and suggested the measure would be politically effective for Republicans.
