Kamala Harris has been mocked by conservatives after a video in which she warned that Americans would have to "prove who you are" under the SAVE Act was seized upon as an inadvertent advertisement for the Republican-backed legislation. Critics argued that her attempt to criticise the bill instead highlighted its central requirement, sparking mockery online and reinforcing support for the measure among its backers.

The SAVE Act (Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act) would require proof of citizenship for voter registration, including measures such as voter ID, and has reportedly drawn over 70% public support according to Republican lawmakers cited in the piece, including Rep. Sheri Biggs. Conservative commentators dubbed Harris an "incredible SAVE Act saleswoman" after her comments went viral, with the House having already passed the bill multiple times while it awaits action in the Senate.
