Donald Trump is pulling out all the stops to pass the SAVE Act.
Trump has one ace up his sleeve.
And Trump triggered the SAVE Act nuclear option that sent RINOs into panic mode.
As Conservative Reboot reports:
President Trump urged Republicans to pass the SAVE Act to guarantee victory in the midterm elections.
The SAVE Act eliminates election fraud by mandating proof of citizenship to register to vote, requiring every state to implement voter ID laws, and banning mass mail-in voting.
RINO Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who wanted Trump to go away after the events of January 6 and endorsed fellow RINO Senator Tim Scott for President in 2024, is conspiring with Democrats to kill the SAVE Act.
Thune ruled out forcing Democrats to stage a talking filibuster, which ends after each Senator speaks twice, to pass the SAVE Act with a simple majority vote.
“The talking filibuster issue is one on which there is not, certainly, a unified Republican conference, and there would have to be,” Thune told reporters.
“If you go down that path, you’re talking about the need to table what are going to be numerous amendments and an ability to keep 50 Republicans unified, pretty much on every single vote. And there’s just not, there isn’t support for doing that at this point,” Thune continued.
Trump supporters in the House aren’t backing down.
Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) told Fox News host Kayleigh McEnany that she plans to attach the SAVE Act to the renewal of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) to force the Senate to take action.
“The Senate said they didn’t have time to debate this on the House floor, yet they literally had time for a dog parade. So there’s no excuse for not embracing the standing filibusters. Leader Thune, I’m asking you directly to stand up for the American people. Force your senators to do their job. But in the event [you don’t], you will not have any legislation passed, and we will attach it to FISA. So those are your options,” Luna declared.
The establishment considers that FISA must pass because it allows for warrantless domestic spying.
Luna believes this is a pressure point SAVE Act supporters can squeeze to force passage of a critical election integrity bill.
“We’re willing to hold the line. We’re on the side of history here, and we have the American people with us,” Luna added. “It’s an overwhelmingly popular issue, and the president supports it. And Mr. President, we’ll do everything in the House to actually get this on your desk and, yes, that means going up against the Senate.”
Texas Congressman Brandon Gill joined Luna on McEnany’s program and revealed 40-50 Republicans were ready to join Luna and him in taking this stand.
President Trump believes that squashing election fraud blows up the Democrats’ chances for victory.
And conservatives are wondering why John Thune would want to tank this bill unless he is secretly opposed to Trump.
But Trump allies in Congress think they have one move to checkmate Thune and the establishment and pass the SAVE Act.
