Thune Opens Protracted Battle Over GOP Voting Overhaul
TL;DR
The Senate will launch a multi-day push to debate the GOP’s SAVE America Act with a simple-vote to begin proceedings, but bipartisan opposition and a 60-vote threshold to end debate make passage unlikely. Republicans may offer amendments tied to Trump’s demands—such as citizenship/ID changes and other conservative provisions—raising questions about unity and keeping late-night floor work likely. Democrats plan Iran war-powers votes, and the House is moving immigration legislation, with the overall drama projected to last seven to 10 days or longer.
