White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt voiced strong support for the SAVE America Act, arguing that the legislation contains measures she described as widely supported by the American public and aimed at strengthening election security.

Leavitt discussed the proposal while outlining several provisions included in the legislation, which President Donald Trump has been promoting as part of a broader push for election integrity and other policy changes.

According to Leavitt, the measures included in the SAVE America Act reflect policies that most Americans already support, particularly when it comes to election security and voter eligibility requirements.

"There should be no pushback to any of the common sense proposals in the SAVE AMERICA Act," Leavitt said.

Leavitt then described what she said are key elements of the legislation and the reasons the administration believes the policies should receive widespread support.

"Let's talk about what is in this bill and what President Trump is pushing for here, mandatory voter ID in the United States of America," Leavitt said.

She pointed to polling data that she said shows broad support among voters across the political spectrum for requiring identification when casting a ballot.

"90% of our country, Democrats and Republicans support this common sense solution to secure American elections," Leavitt said.

Leavitt also criticized lawmakers who oppose voter identification requirements.

"The only people in this country who don't support that are radical left Democrats on Capitol Hill," she said.

Another component of the proposal discussed by Leavitt involves requiring proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.

"That's number one. Number two, requiring US citizenship to register to vote, another common sense measure that absolutely must be done to secure our elections and the future of our country," Leavitt said.

Election security and voter eligibility requirements have been the focus of ongoing debate in Washington and across the country in recent years. Supporters of stricter voting regulations argue that the measures are necessary to protect the integrity of elections, while critics contend that some policies could create barriers to voting.

Leavitt said the SAVE America Act also reflects additional policies she believes are supported by the majority of Americans beyond election-related provisions.

"And with these other two ideas, with no men in women's sports, and with ending transgender surgeries for minor children, these are common sense proposals and policies that, again, are backed by the vast majority of our country," Leavitt said.

Leavitt argued that public polling reflects strong backing for those proposals.

"If you look at the public polling," she said.
