1:13Now PlayingSenate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) said Tuesday that the Senate will vote on the SAVE Act "at some point," but that the measure would not necessarily be included in a revised Homeland Security Department funding bill.
"We will get a vote on the SAVE Act at some point," Sen. Thune told reporters, referring to the legislation that would require proof of citizenship to register to vote. "I'm not sure exactly what that context will be. Maybe it's in the context of voting on the DHS bill if something's agreed upon, but there will be at some point a vote on the SAVE Act."
Sen. Thune also all but ruled out changing the chamber's legislative filibuster rules to advance the bill, as some House Republicans have suggested.
"With respect to the filibuster, I think we all know where the votes are on that," he said.
The Senate GOP leader also said President Trump's call to "nationalize" elections was aimed at passing the SAVE Act.
"I think the president has clarified what he meant by that, and that is that he supports the SAVE Act," he told reporters.
