Leavitt Clarifies Trump's Call to Nationalize' Elections: He Believes' in the Constitution, However'

"What the president was referring to is the SAVE Act, which is a huge common sense piece of legislation that Republicans have supported, that President Trump is committed to signing into law during his term, Leavitt replied, adding: And he spoke with the speaker directly about that yesterday about the need to get that bill on the floor for a vote, because it provides very common-sense measures for voting in our country, such as voter ID."

"The president believes in the United States Constitution; however, he believes there has obviously been a lot of fraud and irregularities that have taken place in American elections. And again, voter ID is a highly popular and common-sense policy that the president wants to pursue, and he wants to pass legislation to make that happen for all states across the country, Leavitt replied."

Leavitt said President Trump referred to the SAVE Act, calling it common-sense legislation Republicans support and one he is committed to signing into law. She said he discussed with the speaker the need to bring the bill to the floor because it includes measures such as voter ID. Leavitt insisted that requiring citizens to present ID before voting is rational and broadly supported. She stated the president believes in the Constitution but contends that fraud and irregularities have occurred in U.S. elections. She said the president wants nationwide legislation to implement voter ID for all states.
