Donald Trump: "Whichever Party Terminates the Filibuster FIRST will be the Party that survives…"

President Donald Trump is pressing Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep lawmakers in Washington until the chamber passes the SAVE America Act, a voting bill requiring citizenship proof and voter IDs. The measure passed the House but remains stuck in the Senate because most legislation needs 60 votes to overcome a filibuster, and Thune has acknowledged he lacks the necessary support. In a social media post, Trump argued that whichever political party ends the filibuster first will succeed, adding that if Democrats do so ahead of Republicans, the country will decline into a “third world nation.” The dispute, unfolding ahead of the Senate’s scheduled August recess, highlights a major internal Republican conflict over legislative strategy and priorities.
