WHITE HOUSE — Donald J.Trump amplified Chip Roy’s demand that the Senate pass the SAVE America Act by mentioning the source (see truthsocial) on a Truth Social post on June 29, 2026 at 8:20 AM EST.
Here is the full post (see truthsocial): “Chip Roy ❤ @chiproytx The SAVE America Act isn’t about public opinion. More than 84% of Americans agree that American elections are for American citizens only. This is about whether the Senate has the political will to fight for what the American people overwhelmingly support. Before it’s too late.”
The post included a screenshot of a message from Chip Roy’s verified account on the platform formerly known as Twitter. Roy, a Republican representing Texas’ 21st Congressional District, cited a polling figure claiming 84% of Americans support restricting voting in U.S. elections to citizens only. He framed the legislation as a test of Senate resolve rather than a question of public sentiment.
The SAVE America Act, formally known as the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, would require proof of citizenship to register to vote in federal elections (see wikipedia.org). The bill passed the House with Republican support and now faces an uncertain path in the Senate, where Roy and allies are pressing for a floor vote.

Roy has made election integrity a centerpiece of his congressional agenda. His official website lists free, fair and secure elections as essential to public trust in representative government (see chiproy.com). He has argued that Congress must ensure citizens have “complete confidence that their vote counts” (see Google).
Trump’s decision to repost Roy’s message signals alignment with the legislative push at a moment when Senate negotiations over the bill remain active (see houstonchronicle.com). The repost adds presidential weight to calls for swift action on voter eligibility rules ahead of future election cycles.
Trump has posted 137 times on the topic of elections out of 620 total posts in the last 30 days, underscoring how central voting-related issues remain to his public messaging.
