President Trump says he won’t sign any legislation until Congress passes the “SAVE America Act,” legislation that would require proof of citizenship to vote. The Senate narrowly voted Tuesday to allow debate on the bill. We discuss the measure’s prospects and why the president is digging in on this issue.

This episode: senior White House correspondent Tamara Keith, voting correspondent Miles Parks, and congressional correspondent Barbara Sprunt.
