Punchbowl News: “There aren’t enough GOP votes for passing the SAVE America Act or getting rid of the filibuster. But Trump clearly doesn’t want to hear that. He has elevated the SAVE America Act to the most important thing for the MAGA movement, even as Thune continues to tell the president that there’s no path for it in the Senate.”
“Scrapping the August recess for a bill that can’t pass the Senate would be especially problematic for Thune’s vulnerable incumbents, who want to be at home campaigning for reelection. GOP Sens. Susan Collins (Maine), Dan Sullivan (Alaska) and Jon Husted (Ohio) don’t want to be stuck on Capitol Hill while their opponents are actively campaigning.”
