Senate Recess Push Blocked by Math | Portland Maine News
Description
A small but vocal group of Republican senators, led by Mike Lee, is pushing to delay the Senate’s August recess to force passage of the SAVE America Act — a voting restrictions bill backed by President Trump. Senators like Rick Scott and Jim Banks are demanding roll call votes and refusing to consent to recess until the bill moves forward. But Senate Majority Leader John Thune has made it clear: there aren’t enough votes to pass the bill, no matter how long they stay in session. With most senators eager for their break, the August recess is still on track — and the SAVE America Act’s momentum appears stalled for now.
