Sen. Thom Tillis rails against Trump's fixation on voting legislation [View all]

Sen. Thom Tillis on Sunday expressed frustration with President Donald Trump's continued fixation on passing the SAVE America Act.

In an interview with CNN's "Face the Nation," the retiring North Carolina Republican lamented "the impossible task" of implementing the requirements of the legislation ahead of November's crucial midterms.

"Why are we doing more things to undermine our confidence in elections, rather than getting the strong message out that will win for Republicans this year?" Tillis said.

Rather than promoting the bill — which would require voters to present a photo ID at the ballot box and effectively end widespread mail-in voting — Tillis said Republicans should tell voters about "the rise of the Democratic Socialists of America" while accepting the current voting laws.
