Trump slips on affordability message amid battle in GOP over SAVE Trump's Ass Act

President Trump's intense focus on passing the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act is threatening to put Republicans at risk ahead of the midterm elections as the party finds itself on uneven footing with voters on affordability.

Trump sent shockwaves through Washington earlier this week when he canceled what would have been the highly publicized signing of a bipartisan housing bill addressing home affordability, saying he would not sign the legislation unless the SAVE America Act is passed.

The president has also made a habit of calling on Republicans to pass the legislation during public appearances and in numerous Truth Social posts, calling on Senate Republicans to abolish the filibuster in an effort to pass the legislation. Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D.) has repeatedly maintained Republicans in the chamber do not have the votes to scrap the procedural tactic.

Trump recently called on Republicans to pass the legislation on Friday, speaking to Christian conservatives at the annual Faith & Freedom Coalition policy conference in Washington.
