Trump Backs Republicans Into a Corner on Election Integrity
Matt Margolis | 11:23 AM on March 23, 2026
President Donald Trump drew a hard line Sunday night, telling Senate Republicans there will be no Department of Homeland Security funding deal until Democrats vote to pass the SAVE America Act, the commonsense election integrity bill requiring proof of citizenship and photo ID to vote in federal elections.
Trump made the demand in a lengthy Truth Social post late Sunday.
"I don't think we should make any deal with the Crazy, Country Destroying, Radical Left Democrats unless, and until, they Vote with Republicans to pass 'THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,'" he wrote. He went further, calling any arrangement that gave Democrats a $5 billion cut in ICE funding — even a disguised one — flatly "unacceptable" without their buy-in on voter ID, proof of citizenship, no mail-in voting, all-paper ballots, no men in women's sports, and an end to transgender procedures on children. "Put it all together," he demanded, "and also, let Leader Thune clearly identify those few 'Republicans' that are Voting against AMERICA. They will never be elected again!"
The DHS has been operating without funding for over a month now because Democrats have blocked a House-passed funding bill five times. Trump has been escalating pressure on the Senate for weeks. Earlier this month, he told Congress that he would not sign other legislation until the SAVE America Act passes. "I, as President, will not sign other Bills until this is passed," he declared. Last week, he went one step further, warning that any Republican lawmaker who votes against the bill will permanently lose his endorsement. "Only sick, demented, or deranged people in the House or Senate could vote against THE SAVE AMERICA ACT," he wrote, adding, "I WILL NEVER (EVER!) ENDORSE ANYONE WHO VOTES AGAINST 'SAVE AMERICA!!!'"
His previous move was another bold one. Starting Monday, ICE is deploying agents to airports to handle security, essentially daring Democrats to keep playing games with funding.
And now he's tying all of it — every last inch — to election integrity.
Trump also called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to kill the filibuster and to keep senators in Washington through Easter if that's what it takes to get the job done. The message to wobbly Republicans: there's nowhere to hide.
