Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has arrived in Washington, where he’s set to meet with President Trump and attend the memorial service and funeral for Senator Lindsey Graham. Trump and Zelenskyy are expected to discuss the ongoing peace process between Russia and Ukraine. Zelenskyy says his top priorities are anti-ballistic defense and strategic cooperation with the U.S.

Calls are mounting on Capitol Hill for Senators to skip the August recess to hold a prolonged debate on the SAVE America Act. President Trump on Monday doubling down on the need to pass the act, which would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and voter ID at the polls. Republicans are currently working on a party line approach to approve some elements of the SAVE America Act through a grant program, which would incentivize states to adopt proof of citizenship and voter ID.
