Following the death of Senator Lindsey Graham, President Donald Trump recalled a weekend phone call in which the late South Carolina Republican pushed for the SAVE America Act even though he was exhausted. Trump said he assured Graham the measure would be completed. The bill would mandate citizenship documentation for voter registration and establish a national voter database, but it has stalled in the Senate due to filibuster rules. Senator Mike Lee of Utah is now urging Congress to pass the legislation as a way to honor Graham, who died Saturday at age 71 from a heart issue.
