Trump Urges Senate to Cancel August Break Until Voting Bill Passes
President Donald Trump urged Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the Senate's August recess until the SAVE America Act, a strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill, is passed. Trump also called for ending the legislative filibuster to facilitate the bill's approval. However, Republicans hold a 53-47 majority and lack sufficient votes to pass the bill or change filibuster rules. Thune has expressed willingness to cancel the break if a viable path forward emerges, highlighting ongoing challenges in advancing the legislation before upcoming elections.
