Rep Michael McCaul was on “Fox News Sunday” with host Shannon Bream to talk about the SAVE America Act after Trump’s primetime address on foreign election interference. McCaul explained that it would simply be enforcing the law by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote and an ID to cast a ballot in federal elections.
McCaul said that 80 percent of America supports some form of the SAVE America Act so that only citizens can vote.
Rep McCaul also talked about the Sanctioning Russia Act of 2026, which was proposed by the late Senator Lindsey Graham.
“He and I worked the last year on this bill. I’m going to introduce it tomorrow, Monday. We anticipate it can pass as early as this week,” McCaul said of the sanctioning act.
Bream also asked Rep McCaul about the war in Iran.
“Where are we now? How does this end?” Bream asked.
“Remember, the military was winning this war against Iran. By the way, I applaud President Trump, the first one since 1979 to take action against a nuclear Iran,” McCaul said.
“Our military was winning. We stopped to negotiate a cease-fire and negotiate a settlement that did not work with this regime,” McCaul said.
“Now we are going to move forward with plan A again. The military is going to move in, take out their launch pads, take out their ability to send drones, to hit tankers, the missiles,” McCaul explained.
“We’ve got to knock out these targets inside of Iran to open up the Straits of Hormuz. That has to be the fundamental objective, key objective right now,” McCaul said.
“Let’s talk about that because that has faced a lot of roadblocks and a lot of challenges,” Bream said of the SAVE America Act.
A clip of outgoing Senator Tom Tillis showed him strongly opposing the SAVE America Act. He was determined to stop it from passing.
“The law says you have to be a citizen to vote. All we are talking about is implementing the law and enforcing the law,” McCaul explained.
“I think 80 percent of the American people support this, whatever the combination is. The simple fact is, require them to be citizens to vote,” McCaul added.
