President Donald Trump and three Republicans senators called on Senate Majority Leader John Thune to cancel the chamber’s summer recess until the Safeguard America Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act is passed.
Trump, Republican Utah Sen. Mike Lee, Republican Florida Sen. Rick Scott and Republican Florida Sen. Ashley Moody said the chamber should cancel recess until the election integrity bill passed. Any senator could object to the upcoming recess that would last until mid-September.
“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!”
Lee said Sunday he would object to any effort to enter recess until the election integrity bill passes.
“.@LeaderJohnThune, I hereby object to any effort to put the Senate into recess in August—at least until such time as the Senate has passed the SAVE America Act—and hereby request a roll call vote. Do not assume you have my consent. You do not,” Lee said.
Scott and Moody also called on the chamber to cancel recess.
“I stand with @basedmikelee. I will vote to stay in session unless we have passed the SAVE America Act. The American people expect us to deliver. They deserve secure Elections
