US President Donald Trump said that he will not sign any other legislation until Congress passes the Save America Act, calling it a priority measure that must move to the front of the legislative agenda.
In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump praised conservative activist Scott Pressler and urged lawmakers to push the bill forward immediately, even suggesting the use of a filibuster to secure its passage.

"Great Job by hard working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS. It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE," Trump wrote.
Trump also warned that he would block other legislation until the measure is approved.
"I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed, AND NOT THE WATERED DOWN VERSION - GO FOR THE GOLD," he wrote.
The president said the legislation should include stricter voting requirements and other policy provisions.
"MUST SHOW VOTER I.D. & PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP: NO MAIL-IN BALLOTS EXCEPT FOR MILITARY - ILLNESS, DISABILITY, TRAVEL: NO MEN IN WOMEN’S SPORTS: NO TRANSGENDER MUTILIZATION FOR CHILDREN! DO NOT FAIL!!!" Trump said.
The Save America Act has been promoted by Trump allies as a measure aimed at tightening election rules and addressing broader cultural and political issues that have become central to conservative policy debates in the United States.
