WSJ warns Trump's favorite bill 'can't save Republicans' from their own deep unpopularity

The Wall Street Journal's conservative editorial board warned President Donald Trump on Tuesday that his new favorite piece of legislation may not be enough to save the GOP from staggering losses during the upcoming midterms.

Trump has lobbied Republicans in Congress to pass the SAVE Act, a bill that he has said would ensure Republicans win "every election for the next 50 years." The bill that passed the House of Representatives had two main aims: to create a national voter ID law and to require proof of citizenship to vote.
