Trump's SAVE America Act Shows Signs of Life in the Senate Despite Republican Revolt
Republicans twice failed to win enough votes to add the voter ID measure to the $70 billion immigration bill, despite a late-night revival.
- During last week's 'vote-a-rama,' Senate Republicans twice failed to attach the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility America Act to a $70 billion immigration enforcement package.
- Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth Macdonough ruled the act did not qualify for a 50-vote threshold, prompting Trump to demand her replacement on Truth Social.
- Sen. Mike Lee's amendment received 50 votes, but four GOP senators—Susan Collins, Lisa Murkowski, Mitch McConnell, and Thom Tillis—opposed it, though supporters argue the bill effectively has 51 votes including Vice President JD Vance.
- The procedural blockade has sparked debate among Republicans over whether to pursue Senate reforms, including a return to the traditional 'talking filibuster' requiring senators to physically hold the floor.
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune noted, "We lose a few, we win a few, but that's been true when Democrats have been in the majority, too," while supporters emphasize restoring election trust remains central.
