During the Faith and Freedom Coalition 2026 Conference on June 26, President Donald Trump had harsh words for Alaska U.S. Sen. Lisa Murkowski.
Speaking of the Save America Act, which aims to strengthen U.S. voter ID laws, Trump noted that Murkowski is one of a handful of Republicans who have joined ranks with Democrats to oppose the legislation.
“There are a few Republicans who are doing a tremendous disservice to this country,” Trump told the gathering. “We have a few Republicans that are fighting it – Lisa Murkowski of Alaska.”
He urged people to call Murkowski and tell her to “get on the ball.”
“She’ll never win another election, I can tell you,” Trump warned. “She’s got to vote.”
Trump explained that the Save America Act is all about voter ID.
“So, you can look and say, ‘Oh, that person’s okay,’” he noted. “We want proof of citizenship, and we want no mail in ballots except for illness, disability and military deployment or travel.”
The Save America Act, which would mandate proof of U.S. citizenship for federal voter registration and strict photo ID requirements, has stalled after passing the House in February 2026. A Senate amendment failed in early June on a 48-50 vote, with some Republicans like Murkowski joining Democrats in opposition.
To underscore the wider need for stronger voting laws in general, Trump pointed to California, which is still counting ballots, weeks after its elections.
“They’re cheating,” he asserted. “Day after day, you hear reports about vote counting. They go on for weeks.”
Trump compared California’s system to that of Colombia, which just had an election with 30 million voters, and the results were available by 9:30 p.m. on election night.
“Here we are in California. We’re going to go for weeks and weeks and weeks. And you know what they do, they cheat. ‘How many votes do we need?’ … That’s why they take their time.”

What logical reason could Princess Lisa have against voter ID? Oh, yeah it doesn’t allow unAmerican people to vote for her. She is the poster child for all that is wrong with Alaska’s election process. If she can’t cheat, she won’t win! This horrible woman will drag this country to it’s knees for only two reasons; she’s addicted to power and will do ANYTHING to maintain it, and anything President Trump want’s in order to save our Republic she’s without a doubt going to fight it.
Never underestimate the ability of Murkowsk to weasel her way into yet another term, and for gullible Alaska voters, and Democrat saboteurs to allow her to do so. As the above poster said, she lives to oppose Trump and gain more power.
Nope. The Senate Republicans are still working – against Trump. Ask Dan Sullivan – we already know Murkowski is a RINO.
They are running a Pro forma session.
This is to keep the Senate officially in session on paper even though it’s basically empty. (but no one to vote on the SAVE Act)
Heres what happens: Pesident Trump has had trouble getting his appointments approved by the Senate. The president can get around this by making recess appointments – but only during a real recess.
To keep the President from making recess appointments, the Senate when taking a recess really are taking a ‘break’. They qualify staying in session by holding short, symbolic meetings – often just a few minutes with one person gaveling in and out (to technically stay in session). This lets most senators go home on break without triggering a formal recess.
History: Trump wasn’t able to make any recess appointments in his first term because the Senate kept running pro forma sessions to block them, and they’re doing the exact same thing now. (Obama made 32 recess appointments over his two terms).
Here’s the news
Serving on rotating duty: The main Republicans catching heat right now are Ashley Moody, Dan Sullivan, and Rick Scott.
Is Dan Sullivan a Trump supporter or a RINO?
You have a right to know.
Please someone tell the President, if Alaska repeals RCV in November, he won’t have to worry. She won’t run again and most certainly not in a regular primary.
Vote Yes on 2!
