President Donald Trump has exactly two modes: unfocused and obsessed.
He’s championing a rewrite of election law that would make it significantly harder for Americans to register to vote, require voters to show ID in all federal elections and force states to submit their voter rolls to the federal government. The bill has been stalled out in the Senate for months with no path to passage, but the president is still demanding the SAVE America Act reach his desk. Until then, Trump and his allies in the House have shown they’d rather doom any pending legislation than accept defeat.
The president’s obsession has blinded him to political reality. He’s incorrectly spent weeks claiming that failure to pass the bill will be the GOP’s ruin come November. Now, rather than spending the next few weeks proving that they deserve to keep their majorities, Trump has left GOP lawmakers paralyzed.
