Summary
President Donald Trump has vowed to reject signing any new bills into law until the SAVE America Act is passed by the Senate. The act aims to implement voter identification requirements and proof of citizenship, among other provisions. Trump has stated that he will not sign any other bills until the SAVE America Act is passed, and Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso has expressed support for the bill, calling it “common sense.” However, the Senate has been hesitant to bring the bill forward due to concerns about the talking filibuster and the 60-vote threshold.
Our Reading
As expected, the matter has reached another stage.
President Trump takes to social media to emphasize the importance of passing the SAVE America Act. Senate Majority Whip John Barrasso echoes Trump’s sentiments, calling the bill “common sense.” The Senate GOP is hesitant to force a talking filibuster, despite Trump’s urging. Former Senate GOP Leader Mitch McConnell remains opposed to the idea. The clock is ticking, with the Department of Homeland Security funding deadline looming.
The performance of politics as usual continues, with each side playing its expected role.
