House Will Pass SAVE America Act Again, Putting Pressure on Senate

“I mean, if you’re that weak, you don’t need to be a United States senator,” he added.

“All that I’m hearing from the Senate leadership is that they don’t have the votes,” Comer said, unless Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S. D. ) is “talking exclusively” with House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.).

Not only do they not have 60 votes, they don’t have 50 votes — which I don’t believe that,” he added, referring to a simple majority vote that would occur if senators voted to eliminate the filibuster, as pushed by President Trump

Despite this, it does not appear that Senate GOP Leader John Thune is going to flex his political muscle to get the SAVE America Act passed.

According to multiple sources cited by the Daily Caller, Leader Thune acknowledged during a Republican lunch meeting that some GOP senators oppose Trump so strongly that they would never support the legislation regardless of its merits.
