President Donald Trump called for the Senate to suspend its approaching August recess to pass the SAVE America Act, which mandates voter ID and prohibits mail-in voting.
“John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to ‘leave town’ until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of, including a full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT, the Budget, and the ever looming Debt Ceiling disaster, 1929!” Trump said. “The Dumocrats will do it on day one, and can’t believe how lucky they got with this Senate leadership.”
Overcoming numerous divisions within the conference, House Republicans on Wednesday successfully passed a framework for reconciliation 3.0, which included $95 billion in spending for the Iran war and parts of the SAVE America Act. The Senate now needs to pass the bill through reconciliation, a process that limits debate on certain spending measures to allow for quicker passage. However, the Sebate is scheduled to go on recess for the month starting Aug. 7 and return after Labor Day.
Trump also renewed his call to eliminate the filibuster, a move Senate Majority Leader John Thune has repeatedly opposed.
The Senate typically needs 60 votes to end debate and pass legislation, but if it eliminated the filibuster, it could pass bills by a simple majority vote.
“Whichever Party Terminates the Filibuster FIRST will be the Party that survives and thrives,” Trump wrote. “If the Dumocrats win this race, however, America will rapidly become nothing more than a Third World Nation!”
