Donald Trump urged Senate Republicans to end the filibuster and approve his SAVE America Act, which requires voter ID — or he will be the last Republican president in history.
The SAVE America Act passed the U.S.
House of Representatives in February but got stuck in the Senate.Now, it’s being blocked by a filibuster led by Democrats.Democrats say the Act is a way to make it harder for married women who change their names, and others who can’t easily get their birth certificates or other ID documents.
“Anybody who doesn’t want to end the filibuster is a fool, a very stupid one,” Trump said on Truth Social.
He continued:
The Democrats will end the filibuster right away after they take office, and then they’ll destroy our country by adding 2 radical left states, 4 Democrat senators, many Congress members, their plan for 21 Supreme Court justices (not just 13, an unlucky number!), a huge number of Electoral College votes (that’s the game winner!), popular vote landslides, and much more.
The Republican Party will never win another election.I will sadly be the last Republican president.Senate Majority Leader John Thune and the Republican Senate must stop this “carnage.” They’ll go down on the wrong side of history, as will all Republicans who just watched.The Republican Party isn’t at stake — our country is.END THE FILIBUSTER AND APPROVE THE SAVE AMERICA ACT RIGHT NOW.GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.President DONALD J.TRUMP”
Just over a week ago, Trump told Republicans to move quickly on a $350 billion Reconciliation Bill that would include the SAVE America Act, along with major military funding.
He wrote, “I am calling on Republicans in Congress to immediately move forward and pass the upcoming $350 billion Reconciliation Bill (Recon 3.0), which, at the request of our great Department of War, will include THE SAVE AMERICA ACT.
No delays, no weak compromises!Do this as soon as possible.”
The Senate hasn’t acted on that bill yet, and Senator John Kennedy (R-LA) warned that if the GOP is going to pass a third reconciliation bill, they need to “get serious and move fast, because we’re running out of time.”
