SAVE Act Gains Momentum As Key Republican Flips Vote

Later in the evening, Sen

Mike Lee of Utah introduced the original House-passed SAVE America Act without the additional provisions.

This time, Collins switched her vote and joined most Republicans in support.

The amendment received 50 votes in favor and 49 against.

With Vice President JD Vance available to cast a tie breaking vote if necessary, supporters quickly noted that the legislation effectively demonstrated majority support in the Senate

Lee celebrated the result shortly after the vote.

“That means that but for the Zombie Filibuster, the House-passed SAVE America Act would now be on its way to the White House for President Trump’s signature,” Lee wrote.
