Fox News anchor Bret Baier is providing a big update on the Save America Act and what is happening to the bill in Congress.
After speaking with President Donald Trump and other Republicans this week, Baier revealed that many lawmakers are still pushing hard for the bill to be passed before November’s midterms.
The U.S. House has already passed the Save Act three times. Now, it’s been sitting in the U.S. Senate.
Below is a transcript of Baier and Fox News correspondent Peter Doocy providing an update on the situation:
BAIER: “As we told you earlier, while lawmakers are split over the president’s handling of the Iran conflict, both Republicans and Democrats are facing their own internal political problems. Republicans are grappling with a legislative stalemate over the SAVE America Act as Democrats are divided over competing visions for their party’s future. Chief congressional correspondent Chad Pergram is following it all from Capitol Hill.”

PERGRAM (voice-over): “President Trump direct in his meeting with Senate Republicans.”
Trump: ‘We like everybody really in the room. I don’t like a few people, but that’s okay. I think you know who they are.”
PERGRAM (voice-over): “The president verbally sparred with GOP Louisiana Senator Bill Cassidy. The president ditched Cassidy in the Louisiana primary. Cassidy then voted to hamstring the president on Iran.”
