Trump Calls for Tying Voter ID to DHS Funds in Shutdown Fight

President Donald Trump urged Republican lawmakers to link funds to reopen the Department of Homeland Security to voter ID legislation and remain in Washington through the Easter holiday if needed — imploring them to “make this one for Jesus.”

“You don’t have to take a fast vote. Don’t worry about Easter going home. In fact, make this one for Jesus, OK? Make this one for Jesus,” Trump said Monday during an event in Memphis, Tennessee. “That would be a damn good thing.”
