Summary
The Senate adjourned for recess despite Sen. Mike Lee’s initial vow to object and force a floor vote on the SAVE America Act. The bill was not brought to a vote, and a voice vote to adjourn for recess was unsuccessful. The budget blueprint to pass parts of the SAVE America Act was also put on hold. Sen. Ron Johnson plans to revisit the budget resolution and include more funding for the Pentagon. The Senate also delayed a college sports bill and confirmed Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche in a narrow 50-49 vote.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
Senators engaged in a long night of negotiations, with deals brokered and major legislation punted. The SAVE America Act never made it to a vote, and the budget blueprint was put on hold. Sen. Mike Lee’s promised objection never came, and the Senate adjourned for recess. The college sports bill was delayed, and Todd Blanche was confirmed as Acting Attorney General in a narrow vote.
It’s business as usual in the Senate, where grand promises often give way to behind-the-scenes negotiations and delayed decisions.
