MEMPHIS, Tennessee, March 23 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Monday urged Republicans in Congress ‌to work through the upcoming Easter holiday ‌in a bid to pass a voter identification bill that Democrats strongly oppose.

Trump said the voting bill should be included in any agreement to fund the Homeland Security department, which has been partially shut down since February ‌13 after Democrats ⁠demanded reforms to immigration enforcement.

"I'm requesting that the Republican senators do that immediately. You ⁠don't have to take a fast vote. Don't worry about Easter, going home. In fact, make this one for Jesus," Trump told a roundtable event in Memphis, ‌Tennessee.
