Trump Insults Female Reporter Asking About Senate Recess and SAVE Act

On July 27, 2026, President Donald Trump insulted CBS News reporter Jennifer Jacobs aboard Air Force One, calling her question 'stupid' after she asked why he wanted the Senate to cancel its August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, a bill requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration. Trump repeated the insult and then defended the legislation, warning that failure to pass it would be 'very bad for the party.' He also posted on Truth Social urging Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep senators in Washington, suggesting ending the filibuster to pass the bill and other priorities. The Senate recess is scheduled from August 6 to September 14.
