Rapper Nicki Minaj is asking her fanbase to call their legislators on Thursday to urge them to pass the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act.
The SAVE America Act passed the House of Representatives on Wednesday, but it is unlikely to pass the Senate, where Republicans only have a three-seat majority — nowhere near the 60 votes needed to pass it via the filibuster.
Minaj, who has emerged as an ally to the Trump administration, is now urging her fans, whom she refers to as “Barbz,” to get the legislation to President Donald Trump’s desk.
“Barbz, get your pretty little fingers out & call your senators. I’ll bribe you if I have to,” Minaj said on X.
Minaj posted again on X, telling her fans to call their senators and post “#SaveAct.” She also posted a video of herself walking down a hallway as a “bribe” to her fans.
“If you all do it, I’ll let you choose between a new look & Spaces. The choice is yours,” Minaj said.
The White House reposted Minaj’s video on X, writing “Barbz- find your senators.”
TO DEMOCRATS, THE SAVE ACT IS POLITICAL KRYPTONITE
Prior to Minaj’s call to action, billionaire and X owner Elon Musk reposted an X user’s graphic showing Republican senators who are “holdouts” on the SAVE America Act.
Musk also asked his followers to call their senators and “ask for voter ID to be passed.”
Washington Examiner investigations editor Sarah Bedford said Republicans could pursue a “talking filibuster” to get the SAVE America Act passed, as this would “force Democratic members” to explain in “hours-long speeches” why they oppose this voter identification bill being passed.
Bedford also said the SAVE Act being “dead on arrival” in the Senate would be “a real failure” for Senate Republican leadership
