美国参议员在周六凌晨离开国会，未能在夏季休会前通过特朗普所要求的严格公民身份证明投票法案。[1]特朗普曾要求参议院通过SAVE America Act法案，该法案要求选民在联邦选举前出示身份证。[1]
参议院多数党领导人约翰·图恩与参议员罗恩·约翰逊、迈克·李和瑞克·斯科特在晚间与特朗普通电话后，共和党参议员同意将投票法案纳入9月返回工作时的更广泛预算方案中。[1]仅要求出示身份证的较窄版本投票法案以政党界线划分的方式失败，民主党对此表示反对。[1]
在近20小时的会议中，参议院确认了特朗普提名的司法部长托德·布兰奇，并通过了俄罗斯制裁方案和政府资金法案。[1]
U.S. senators left the Capitol early Saturday morning without passing legislation that would satisfy President Trump's demands for a strict voter identification requirement before the chamber's summer recess.[1] The SAVE America Act, which would require voters to present identification for federal elections, failed to advance due to insufficient bipartisan support.[1]
Following a late-night phone call between Trump and Republican Senate leadership—including Majority Leader John Thune, Senator Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, and Rick Scott—GOP senators agreed to incorporate the voting measure into a broader budget package upon their return in September.[1] During the nearly 20-hour Senate session, lawmakers confirmed Trump's nominee for attorney general, Todd Blanche, passed sanctions against Russia, and approved government funding legislation.[1] A narrower version of the voting bill, which focused solely on identification requirements, failed along party lines with Democrats in opposition.[1]
