Donald Trump may be having his Joe Biden moment as one of the greatest legislative priorities of his second term, a bill that would establish national voter ID requirements, seemed on course to die on the Senate floor.
The bill, known as the SAVE Act, narrowly cleared a Tuesday procedural vote with every Democrat in opposition and one Republican, Sen. Lisa Murkowski of Alaska, joining them. With the numbers clearly against Senate leadership and the president, the impending failure of the bill presents a familiar problem for Trump. For the second time as president and mirroring the political failure of Biden’s “Build Back Better” agenda as well, Trump is on course to see a Republican Congress reject his legislative agenda.
