Trump presses Senate to stay in DC to push voting restrictions bill

TL;DR Summary
President Donald Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep the Senate in session in Washington until the Save America Act — a voting-rights bill requiring citizenship proof to register and photo IDs to vote — passes. Republicans are divided on scrapping the filibuster to clear the measure; Democrats say they will block it, meaning 60 votes are needed. The Senate is slated to stay in session for two weeks before a five-week recess, with Trump warning that Democrats would end the filibuster if they retake the majority, though such support remains uncertain.
