- Market Probability: 8.9% (Yes)
- Yes refers to: Before Jan 4, 2027
- Edge: -2.0pp
- Expected Return: -22.0%
- R-Score: -0.20
- Total Volume: $5,723,984.36

## Market Behavior & Price Dynamics

This market has demonstrated a stable, sideways trading pattern, consistently pricing the probability of the SAVE Act becoming law below 10%. The price has been confined to a narrow range between 6.6% and 9.6%, starting at 9.1% and settling near the current price of 8.9%. The most notable, though minor, price movement occurred in early June 2026. The slight decline in price during this period appears to be a direct reaction to reports that the bill failed to overcome key procedural votes in the Senate. This legislative setback solidified the market's low expectations, preventing any upward momentum and locking the price into its current low-probability channel.

Volume analysis suggests that initial interest has waned, and the market has reached a consensus. The total volume traded is significant, but the pattern of high initial volume followed by periods of much lower activity indicates that traders priced in the bill's legislative challenges early on. The 6.6% level has acted as a floor or support, while the 9.6% mark has served as a ceiling or resistance, with the price failing to break out of this range. Overall, the chart reflects a strong and persistent market sentiment that the SAVE Act faces insurmountable obstacles and is highly unlikely to be enacted before the January 2027 resolution date.

## Contract Snapshot

This Kalshi market resolves to "Yes" if the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) becomes law before January 4, 2027, 10:00 AM EST; otherwise, it resolves to "No." The outcome will be verified using the Library of Congress, and the market will close early if the event occurs before the deadline. Insider trading is prohibited for employees of Source Agencies and anyone with material, non-public information related to the Underlying.

## Market Discussion

The market largely anticipates the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) will not become law, currently showing an 8.9% chance of resolution to Yes. A significant argument against passage is that some traders may be confusing the specific H.R. 22 with a different, potentially more current "Save America Act," with critics claiming H.R. 22 has virtually no path forward in the Senate. While a few participants expressed support for the bill's passage, specific arguments for its enactment are absent from the discussion.

## Market Data

| Contract | Yes Bid | Yes Ask | Last Price | Volume | Open Interest |
| --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Before Jan 4, 2027 | 8.2% | 8.9% | 8.9% | $5,723,984.36 | $2,092,233.18 |

## What specific outcomes in the November 2026 midterm elections could create a viable path for the SAVE Act to pass before January 2027?

**The SAVE Act currently lacks sufficient support for passage in the U.S**

The SAVE Act currently lacks sufficient support for passage in the U.S. Senate. As of June 2026, the bill is stalled, unable to advance due to insufficient support and the 60-vote requirement needed to overcome a filibuster [[^]](https://wausaupilotandreview.com/2026/06/06/us-senate-blocks-trumps-save-america-act-thwarting-restrictions-on-voting/)[[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665)[[^]](https://www.juneauindependent.com/post/trump-s-save-america-act-restricting-voting-nixed-by-senate-murkowski-among-four-republicans-oppose). Republican leadership has indicated that the SAVE Act is unlikely to pass before the November 2026 midterm elections unless there is a change in the Senate's composition [[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665)[[^]](https://1-e8259.azureedge.net/news/2026/4/15/what-is-trump-backed-save-america-act-and-what-could-it-mean-for-us-vote).

A viable path relies on strong Republican midterm performance to pass the SAVE Act. Such a path would depend entirely on the post-election "lame duck" session, specifically if Republicans achieve exceptional results in the November 2026 midterms [[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665)[[^]](https://www.brumidigroup.com/post/why-this-year-s-lame-duck-session-may-look-different)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R45154/R45154.14.pdf)[[^]](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LameDuckSessions.htm)[[^]](https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R45402.html). This scenario could theoretically create a significant political shift, potentially pressuring wavering senators to change their votes [[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665)[[^]](https://www.brumidigroup.com/post/why-this-year-s-lame-duck-session-may-look-different)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R45154/R45154.14.pdf)[[^]](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LameDuckSessions.htm)[[^]](https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R45402.html).

Significant hurdles remain even with a strong election outcome for Republicans. Passing the bill would still necessitate either securing 60 votes or successfully abandoning the filibuster, neither of which currently has consensus [[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665)[[^]](https://www.brumidigroup.com/post/why-this-year-s-lame-duck-session-may-look-different). Furthermore, to meet the January 4, 2027 deadline, a viable legislative route would require attaching the SAVE Act to high-leverage "must-pass" legislative vehicles, such as government funding bills or the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) [[^]](https://www.brumidigroup.com/post/why-this-year-s-lame-duck-session-may-look-different)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R45154/R45154.14.pdf)[[^]](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LameDuckSessions.htm)[[^]](https://www.everycrsreport.com/reports/R45402.html).

## Which Republican and Democratic senators voted against advancing the SAVE Act in June 2026, and what were their stated reasons?

**The U.S**

The U.S. Senate blocked the SAVE America Act in June 2026. Senators voted 48-50 against an amendment to attach the SAVE America Act to an immigration-focused spending bill [[^]](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/four-senate-republicans-unite-dems-block-trumps-save-america-act)[[^]](https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/06/four-gop-senators-join-dems-to-stop-save-act/)[[^]](https://azmirror.com/2026/06/05/repub/save-america-act-fails-in-the-senate-as-gop-defections-doom-trumps-voting-restrictions/)[[^]](https://georgiarecorder.com/2026/06/05/repub/us-senate-blocks-trumps-save-america-act-thwarting-restrictions-on-voting/)[[^]](https://texaspolitics.com/2026/06/05/four-senate-republicans-vote-against-save-america-act/). This vote saw four Republican senators—Susan Collins (R-ME), Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Mitch McConnell (R-KY), and Thom Tillis (R-NC)—join all Democratic senators in voting against advancing the amendment [[^]](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/four-senate-republicans-unite-dems-block-trumps-save-america-act)[[^]](https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/06/four-gop-senators-join-dems-to-stop-save-act/)[[^]](https://azmirror.com/2026/06/05/repub/save-america-act-fails-in-the-senate-as-gop-defections-doom-trumps-voting-restrictions/)[[^]](https://georgiarecorder.com/2026/06/05/repub/us-senate-blocks-trumps-save-america-act-thwarting-restrictions-on-voting/)[[^]](https://texaspolitics.com/2026/06/05/four-senate-republicans-vote-against-save-america-act/)[[^]](https://blavity.com/save-america-act-republicans-side-with-democrats-to-reject).

Reasons for opposition varied among senators on the bill. The stated reasons for the four Republican senators' votes against advancing the amendment were not specified in the available research. However, Democratic senators opposed the legislation, asserting that federal law already prohibits non-citizen voting, that current election safeguards are sufficient, and that the bill was part of an effort to implement restrictive election rules [[^]](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/four-senate-republicans-unite-dems-block-trumps-save-america-act)[[^]](https://legalinsurrection.com/2026/06/four-gop-senators-join-dems-to-stop-save-act/)[[^]](https://azmirror.com/2026/06/05/repub/save-america-act-fails-in-the-senate-as-gop-defections-doom-trumps-voting-restrictions/).

## How do the voter verification rules in the SAVE Act compare to the provisions in the For the People Act of 2021?

SAVE Act Citizenship Proof | Mandates documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal election registration [[^]](https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/IF/PDF/IF12902/IF12902.3.pdf)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text) |
For the People Act Citizenship Proof | Did not impose new documentary proof of U.S. citizenship requirements for registration [[^]](https://www.factcheck.org/2026/03/qa-on-the-save-america-act/) |
SAVE Act Noncitizen Removal | Requires states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls using DHS SAVE system [[^]](https://www.factcheck.org/2026/03/qa-on-the-save-america-act/) |

**The SAVE Act and For the People Act diverge on voter citizenship verification**

The SAVE Act and For the People Act diverge on voter citizenship verification. The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act (H.R. 22) explicitly mandates that states require documentary proof of U.S. citizenship for federal elections, thereby amending the National Voter Registration Act (NVRA) [[^]](https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/IF/PDF/IF12902/IF12902.3.pdf)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/bill/119th-congress/house-bill/22/text). Conversely, the For the People Act of 2021 (H.R. 1/S. 1) did not introduce new documentary proof of citizenship requirements for voter registration [[^]](https://www.factcheck.org/2026/03/qa-on-the-save-america-act/).

The SAVE Act enhances voter roll verification, For the People Act expands access. The SAVE Act includes specific provisions requiring states to remove noncitizens from voter rolls by utilizing verification tools like the Department of Homeland Security's (DHS) SAVE system [[^]](https://www.factcheck.org/2026/03/qa-on-the-save-america-act/). The SAVE America Act, which passed the House in February 2026, further mandates photo identification for federal elections and codifies the use of the DHS citizenship verification system for voter rolls [[^]](https://www.factcheck.org/2026/03/qa-on-the-save-america-act/). In contrast, the For the People Act focused on expanding voter access through measures such as internet registration, automatic voter registration, and same-day registration, rather than imposing new documentary proof or noncitizen removal requirements [[^]](https://www.factcheck.org/2026/03/qa-on-the-save-america-act/).

## What have Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other key congressional leaders publicly stated about prioritizing the SAVE Act after the failed June 2026 votes?

**Senate Majority Leader Thune declared the SAVE Act dead after its June 2026 vote**

Senate Majority Leader Thune declared the SAVE Act dead after its June 2026 vote. Following a failed Senate vote on June 4, 2026, Senate Majority Leader John Thune publicly stated that the SAVE Act is "dead" in the current session. He attributed this outcome to the insufficient number of votes and the unwillingness to eliminate the legislative filibuster, identifying these as insurmountable obstacles [[^]](https://www.foxnews.com/video/6398393949112)[[^]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2rCoZkjo6Q)[[^]](https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/thune-pushes-back-trumps-call-fire-senate-parliamentarian-pass-save-america-act)[[^]](https://true.news/watch-gop-leader-john-thune-says-save-america-act-is-dead-laughs-at-potential-trump-criticism/)[[^]](https://trump.news-pravda.com/trump/2026/06/09/354956.html)[[^]](https://www.npr.org/2026/06/04/nx-s1-5751145/save-act-senate-vote-trump).

Thune rejected proposals to bypass the filibuster, citing insufficient support. He pushed back against suggestions from President Trump and other allies to fire the Senate parliamentarian or abolish the filibuster as a means to circumvent the 60-vote requirement. Thune indicated that these alternatives were either unfeasible under existing Senate rules or lacked adequate support within his caucus [[^]](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p2rCoZkjo6Q)[[^]](https://www.foxbusiness.com/media/thune-pushes-back-trumps-call-fire-senate-parliamentarian-pass-save-america-act)[[^]](https://true.news/watch-gop-leader-john-thune-says-save-america-act-is-dead-laughs-at-potential-trump-criticism/)[[^]](https://trump.news-pravda.com/trump/2026/06/09/354956.html)[[^]](https://www.npr.org/2026/06/04/nx-s1-5751145/save-act-senate-vote-trump). The June 4, 2026, vote concluded with a 48–50 tally, primarily due to unanimous opposition from Democrats and the defection of four Republican senators: Collins, Murkowski, McConnell, and Tillis, further demonstrating the bill's lack of necessary bipartisan support [[^]](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/four-senate-republicans-unite-dems-block-trumps-save-america-act)[[^]](https://www.wunc.org/2026-06-04/republicans-sweeping-election-overhaul-fails-in-the-senate)[[^]](https://www.foxnews.com/politics/four-senate-republicans-unite-dems-block-trumps-save-america-act.amp)[[^]](https://www.kunc.org/npr-news/2026-06-04/republicans-sweeping-election-overhaul-fails-in-the-senate)[[^]](https://explore.oreate.ai/posts/the-final-senate-vote-on-the-save-act-and-why-it-failed-to-pass).

## What procedural maneuvers, such as filibuster reform or attaching the bill to must-pass legislation, could be attempted during the post-election lame-duck session of 2026?

Passage Probability by Jan 2027 | Highly improbable [[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665)[[^]](https://statt.com/blog/save-america-act-senate/)[[^]](https://federalnewsnetwork.com/prediction-markets/2026/03/save-act-status-latest-odds-to-become-law/) |

**The SAVE Act faces significant Senate obstacles, making passage unlikely**

The SAVE Act faces significant Senate obstacles, making passage unlikely. As of June 2026, the SAVE Act (H.R. 22) has repeatedly failed to advance in the U.S. Senate, primarily due to opposition from Democrats and defections among key Republican senators [[^]](https://azmirror.com/2026/06/05/repub/save-america-act-fails-in-the-senate-as-gop-defections-doom-trumps-voting-restrictions/)[[^]](https://www.juneauindependent.com/post/trump-s-save-america-act-restricting-voting-nixed-by-senate-murkowski-among-four-republicans-oppose)[[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665). Senate Majority Leader John Thune has stated that Republicans lack the necessary 60 votes to overcome a filibuster [[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665). Furthermore, Thune has ruled out employing the "nuclear option" to alter Senate rules and force the bill's passage, citing insufficient support within his own conference [[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665)[[^]](https://statt.com/blog/save-america-act-senate/)[[^]](https://wolvesandsheep.substack.com/p/lets-do-this-what-exactly-is-the).

Procedural maneuvers in the lame-duck session are improbable without bipartisan support. While options such as attaching the bill to 'must-pass' legislation, utilizing budget reconciliation if applicable, or seeking unanimous consent could theoretically be attempted during the 2026 post-election lame-duck session, these strategies are widely regarded as insufficient to overcome the established 60-vote cloture threshold in the Senate without substantial bipartisan cooperation [[^]](https://sgp.fas.org/crs/misc/R45154.pdf)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/RL30458)[[^]](https://www.congress.gov/crs_external_products/R/PDF/R48444/R48444.1.pdf)[[^]](https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LameDuckSessions.htm). Consequently, prediction markets and political analysts widely assess the passage of the SAVE Act before January 4, 2027, as highly improbable, as Republican leadership has shifted its focus to the midterm elections as the sole realistic pathway for legislative success [[^]](https://www.newsweek.com/trump-save-act-plan-for-midterms-is-slipping-away-12052665)[[^]](https://statt.com/blog/save-america-act-senate/)[[^]](https://federalnewsnetwork.com/prediction-markets/2026/03/save-act-status-latest-odds-to-become-law/).

## What Could Change the Odds
