Episode Details

Trump’s pushing the Senate to scrap its August recess to fast-track his “Save America Act” — a voter ID and citizenship proof bill — and even suggested killing the filibuster to speed things up, claiming the first to do so wins. But Senate leaders say it’s dead on arrival: Majority Leader Thune confirms no votes exist, while Minority Leader Schumer calls it doomed. Some GOP senators like Mike Lee, Ashley Moody, and Rick Scott back staying in session for election security, but Thune remains firm. Trump, when asked if he’d replace Thune, says he hasn’t even considered it. With the Senate set to break August 6th and return September 14th, the standoff underscores deep legislative divides in Washington.
