President Trump has issued his ultimate ‘trump card’ to pressure the Senate into finally passing the SAVE Act to secure America’s elections once and for all. And he wants them to do a bit of additional work on the legislation as well.
The SAVE Act is an absolutelycriticalmeasure that requires every American to show ID to cast a ballot.
It also requires proof of citizenship BEFORE registering to vote.
Democrats are in meltdown mode because, should the measure pass, they will find stealing elections far more challenging.
But Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-S.D) acknowledged that Republicans currently lack the internal cohesion necessary to execute a procedural maneuver called a ‘talking filibuster’ to muscle the SAVE Act through the Senate.
As a result, the bill remains stuck.
As TGP readers know, it takes 60 votes in the Senate to close debate and break a filibuster. Utilizing a talking filibuster in theory would make things more painful on the opposition and cause them, to eventually give up and allow a bill to pass with a simple majority.
On Sunday, Trump made clear he was fed up and issued an ultimatum on Truth Social: no more bills until the SAVE Act is on his desk.
And that’s not all: Trump also said he wanted two additional changes: no mail-in ballots except in necessary circumstances (which the SAVE Act does not limit mail-in voting) and a total ban on transgender mutilation for kids.
“Great Job by hard-working Scott Pressler on Fox & Friends talking about using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS,” Trump wrote. It must be done immediately. It supersedes everything else. MUST GO TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE.”
