Representative Eli Crane (R-AZ) rejoined the chorus of House Republicans calling for the SAVE America Act's passage after President Donald Trump's recent primetime address.

Trump's Address

On Thursday, Trump gave an address in which he spoke of declassified documents allegedly showing that China had interfered in the 2020 Election and had stolen 220 million U.S. voter files. Trump also shared that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) had found that 278,000 noncitizens were registered to vote in federal elections, among other claims.

A new page that allows the documents to be viewed was launched on the White House website.

Crane's Response

Rep. Crane called for the SAVE America Act to be passed initially after X users poked fun at the Italian restaurant chain Olive Garden, which confirmed that only those who bought the promotional Never-Ending Pasta Pass, with their name printed on the pass, were allowed to take advantage and must present a photo ID along with the pass at the time of ordering.

"Olive Garden's never-ending pasta pass is more secure than our federal elections. Make sense to anyone? Pass the SAVE America Act," Rep. Crane posted in a reply to Olive Garden's post.

After Trump's address, the DHS's account shared the clip where Trump spoke about 278,000 noncitizens being registered to vote, to which the Arizona congressman replied, "The Senate should immediately pass the SAVE America Act. Secure our elections."

Crane pushed again shortly after, "This isn’t complicated, folks. Pass the SAVE America Act!"

Crane's Not Alone

Representative Abe Hamadeh (R-AZ), has been one of the most vocal Republicans calling for the Senate to pass the SAVE America Act, tearing into the Senate GOP in June in a social media post, writing, "It's not Trump these Senate Republicans hate—it's their own voters."

"Voters sent them to Washington, DC, with a clear mandate: Help President Trump secure their right to vote," Rep. Hamadeh continued. "Yet they refuse to pass the SAVE America Act. Every fraudulent vote they allow is a direct assault on every lawful voter. This isn't negligence—it's contempt. If they won't fight for the people who put them in office, they don't belong there."
