Darline Graham Bucks John Thune, Says She’ll Stay In Town Until SAVE America Act Passes

Republican South Carolina Sen. Darline Graham said Monday she would object to a summer recess so the Senate could vote to pass the Safeguard America Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act.

Graham said the SAVE America Act was “top priority” and she would remain in Washington, D.C., to see it passed. President Donald Trump and other Republican senators also called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the upcoming recess.

“President Trump is 100% correct. The SAVE America Act is top priority. I will stay here as long as necessary to get it passed and signed into law,” Graham said. “I came to Washington to fight for the people of South Carolina and deliver on our conservative agenda.”

Trump said Monday that the Senate should not leave town until the filibuster is terminated and the SAVE America Act reaches his desk.

“John Thune should not allow the United States Senate to ‘leave town’ until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of, including a full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT, the Budget, and the ever looming Debt Ceiling disaster, 1929!” Trump wrote on Truth Social Monday. “The Dumocrats will do it on day one, and can’t believe how lucky they got with this Senate leadership. Remember, stupidity always brings LOSING & DEATH!”

Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee became the first senator to demand the recess be canceled, stating Sunday that he would object to the recess to see the election integrity bill passed. Republican Sens. Jim Banks of Indiana, Tommy Tuberville of Alabama and Ashley Moody and Rick Scott of Florida also called on the recess to be canceled.
