SAVE Act Gains Momentum As Key Republican Flips Vote

If they eventually exhausted their ability to continue debate, the Senate could move toward a final vote requiring only a simple majority

Senate Majority Leader John Thune has remained cautious. The debate has also extended to the Senate parliamentarian.

President Trump renewed calls this week for Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough to be removed after she ruled that the SAVE America Act could not be included in the immigration package under reconciliation rules.

We have every right to change her, and should do so, IMMEDIATELY,” Trump wrote on Truth Social

“As long as she’s there, we will never get our desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT approved, and put into full force and effect! ”

Thune has shown little interest in taking that step.
