President Donald Trump doesn’t want the Senate to leave town with his flagship election security measure still on the line. It’s less than two weeks until the upper chamber makes a jailbreak from Washington, D.C., and the schedule is already jam-packed with key items, from blockbuster confirmations to a long-awaited sanctions package targeting Russia. But only one legislative priority matters to Trump: the SAVE America Act.
And despite the political reality in the Senate, the president wants the bill passed by any means necessary. TRUMP'S SAVE AMERICA ACT STALLS AS MCCONNELL'S ABSENCE COMPLICATES SENATE PATH"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 declared on Truth Social."
The Dumocrats will do it on day one and can’t believe how lucky they got with this Senate leadership," he continued.
