- Trump is pressing Congress to approve the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act "at all costs," according to the source
- Republicans are frustrated by the effort, seeing it as Trump picking "the wrong fights" with his own party
- The intraparty friction is unfolding ahead of a "crucial midterm election" that GOP members see as the higher priority
- GOP frustrations over the Act were "magnified" by a primetime event referenced in the source (text truncated before specifics)
Why it matters: Trump is spending political capital on a voter-eligibility bill that fellow Republicans view as a distraction from defending their House and Senate majorities in a midterm cycle — the source frames the push as a self-inflicted wound on GOP unity right when the party can least afford it.
