President Donald Trump is using the stalled SAVE America Act as leverage in his bid to maintain GOP control, tying the bill to unrelated Republican priorities as the party rushes to capitalize on their congressional majority before the midterm elections. The move comes amid a tense standoff with Democrats, who are pushing for the passage of the SAVE Act, a sweeping overhaul of the country's social safety net. Trump is reportedly threatening to block the passage of other key Republican legislation unless his demands are met.
