Conservatives piled on former Vice President Kamala Harris after she warned Americans would have to "prove who you are" under the SAVE America Act, arguing her criticism inadvertently turned into a sales pitch for the Republican-backed bill.

"Incredible SAVE America Act saleswoman," wrote conservative commentator Eric Daughetry on X.

Harris posted a video on her X account Friday discussing midterm elections while highlighting the SAVE Act, including lamenting to voters that "you’re going to have to have proof of who you are."

She added the bill will require "a passport, which a lot of Americans don’t have, or a birth certificate. Same point, obstacles to make it difficult for you to register to vote."

Trump has made passage of the SAVE Act a top priority for his administration, pushing the stalled election legislation through a series of pressure tactics, including tying it to defense spending and threatening housing legislation.

The clip went viral among conservatives, with Trump even pinning the video to the top of his profile on Truth Social.

"The Jim Crow comparisons are tired. The poll tax is gone. Jim Crow is gone. Proving you’re an American citizen before voting in an American election is not oppression. It’s common sense," said Texas Rep. Wesley Hunt in response.

"This is CRAZY- imagine a world where you have to prove who you are," said former White House press secretary Sean Spicer.

"She needs to hang it up," wrote Oversight Project vice president of litigation Jeff Clark.

"Kamala Harris complains that if the SAVE America Act passes, people will have to prove who they are in order to register to vote," wrote conservative commentator Benny Johnson said.

"Wonder why Kamala Harris thinks this is a bad thing," posted Elon Musk’s political action committee America.

"Kamala Harris on the SAVE Act: it would require Americans to ‘prove who you are’ to vote. Trump reposted her clip himself," said Fox News anchor Sean Hannity.

Trump has warned about the need for voter ID laws for years, including from the 2016 campaign trail.

With Congress out of session and the midterms approaching, Trump is continuing to push lawmakers to prioritize passage of the SAVE Act, keeping pressure on Republicans to act when they return to Washington.

Democratic lawmakers have argued the SAVE Act would create unnecessary barriers for eligible voters, most notably potentially disenfranchising them.

Fourteen states and Washington, D.C., do not require most voters to present identification when voting in person.
