Mitchell Credits Pressure Campaign as SAVE America Act Heads to Senate Floor
TL;DR
Cleta Mitchell, chair of the Election Integrity Network, says her pressure campaign helped persuade Senate Majority Leader John Thune to bring the SAVE America Act to the Senate floor for a marathon debate, despite the bill’s lack of the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster; Democrats oppose it and Republicans are split, but supporters hope extended debate could shift votes and advance the measure.
