Not only is Senate Majority Leader John Thune not looking at ways to get the SAVE America Act passed, according to a prominent GOP lawmaker, he’s not even considering passing it, period.
The election integrity measure, which passed the House but has been held up in the Senate for the lack of votes for cloture, would require proof of citizenship and eligibility to vote and limit widespread mail-in voting measures.
For months, Republican leadership has discussed whether or not a so-called “talking filibuster” would eventually force negotiations or shut down avenues of blocking the SAVE America Act; proponents said that a more substantive filibuster needed to return anyway, while opponents said that itwould allow Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to controlthe agenda for weeks, if not months, and would either be tantamount to a modified nuclear option or have no substantive effect.
But, as Florida GOP Rep. Anna Paulina Luna noted on X, we’re not talking about that, now that Congress has returned from a short two-week recess, because we’re not going to be talkingabout the SAVE America Act, period.
“Just so America knows, after two weeks in recess, John Thune is no longer considering the SAVE America Act,” Luna said.
