Vice President JD Vance criticized the U.S. 
Senate for delaying the SAVE America Act during an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast that dropped on Wednesday. 
When the conversation turned to mail-in ballots and fraudulent voting, Rogan asked why voter ID wasn’t required in elections. 
Vance jumped in with a response. 
“So, we are right now trying to pass the SAVE America Act,” the vice president said. 
“One of its main provisions is a requirement that you do voter ID. 
And we actually have, I think, a majority of the Senate that would support it. 
But this is just weird Senate procedural bulls—. 
There’s a subsegment of people who want voter ID but won’t blow up the filibuster in order to achieve it.” 
He went on to explain why certain senators are clinging to the filibuster, noting the difference between items that require 50 votes, instead of 60, to pass. 
“What we have tried to persuade the Senate to do is to treat the voter ID as something that can fall within the 50-vote threshold,” Vance said. 
“And there is no law, there’s no provision in the Constitution.” 
“There are senators who are so attached to the idea that budget is 50, [but] non-budget is 60, that they’re quite literally willing to prevent voter ID in America.” 
During the exchange, Rogan said that Democrats encourage cheating by using fear tactics. 
“I think they cheat, and I think they’ve been doing it forever, and I don’t think there’s any other reason why you would have no voter ID,” Rogan said. 
“They try to say it’s racist to have voter ID. 
Like, what are you talking about? 
Do you think other races are incapable of going to the DMV? 
That’s insane. 
That’s racist,” he added. 
Rogan held the top podcast for the first quarter of 2026, according to Forbes . 
“The Joe Rogan Experience” has 21 million subscribers on YouTube alone.
