Trump’s ‘Patience Is Running Out’ with Thune over SAVE Act, Leavitt Says

Trump and White House allies urged Senate Republicans to move the elections bill before recess, even as GOP senators said the votes are not there.

  • President Trump is pressuring Senate Republicans, particularly John Thune, to pass the SAVE America Act before the August recess, expressing frustration over Senate delays and procedural hurdles.
  • The SAVE America Act requires proof of U.S. citizenship to register for federal elections and mandates nationwide voter ID requirements, but it faces opposition from Senate Democrats and some Republicans, preventing it from overcoming the 60-vote threshold needed in the Senate.
  • Senate Majority Leader John Thune says the bill lacks sufficient votes to pass, blames Democrats for blocking it, and urges efforts to persuade senators to support the legislation.
  • White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt states that the bill has strong public backing and that related measures have passed in the House, but Senate progress remains stalled due to Republican divisions and Senate rules.
