Multiple sources report that Democrats opposed the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of citizenship to register, with the AP stating Democrats are uniformly opposed and the Washington Examiner reporting that all but four House Democrats voted against the federal version.
What was said

Think of it, no tax on Social Security, and the Democrats want to terminate that. Who the hell can vote for these people? But they voted against voter identification, commonly known as voter ID, and they voted against proof of citizenship. They voted against securing your border.

Badlands Media · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. AP reports that Democrats are uniformly opposed to the SAVE America Act, which would require proof of U.S. citizenship for new voters, and expect to block it in the Senate.[1]
Supports. The Washington Examiner reports that all but four Democrats voted against a federal version of the proof-of-citizenship policy in the House, though this is an opinion piece relying on a vote record.[3]
Supports. Snopes notes the SAVE America Act would require Democratic Senate support to pass, which it does not have, consistent with Democratic opposition.[2]
Context. Democrats say they are not opposed to photo ID as such and object to the bill's strictness, so their opposition is to the bill's overall package rather than to proof of citizenship in isolation.[4]
