Trump Pushes Voting Bill, Thune Resists | Charleston News

Published 1 week, 3 days ago
Description

Trump’s pushing hard for a sweeping “Save America Act” to overhaul voting rules ahead of November’s elections, but Senate Majority Leader John Thune is holding firm—saying it lacks the votes to pass. With the August recess looming, White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt warns Trump’s patience is wearing thin. While Trump wants the bill pushed through before the break, Senate rules like the filibuster make it a near-impossible feat without broad GOP support. Meanwhile, Thune’s focusing on economic messaging as voters prioritize cost of living ahead of midterms—suggesting Trump’s agenda may be out of sync with the Senate’s rhythm and the electorate’s current concerns.
