Trump’s Election Bill Tops 50 Votes in Senate

“The SAVE America Act to require proof of citizenship nationwide to register to vote and overhaul voting laws has now topped 50 votes in the Republican-controlled Senate,” NBC News reports.

“The bill is supported by President Donald Trump and passed the House last week, meaning the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster rule is the only thing standing in the way of it becoming law.”

“The tally guarantees a battle over the bill on the Senate floor as Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) has promised a vote. But he warned last week that there are ‘not even close’ to enough votes for getting rid of the filibuster, despite Trump’s calls to do so.”
