JUSTTHENEWS (The Center Square Staff) - Sen. Lee urging US Senate to pass SAVE America Act upon return to DC
“Congress has to do its part. This does not take the place of, it cannot replicate the SAVE America Act. We need the SAVE America Act, and we need it passed right now,” U.S. Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, the most vocal supporter of the bill, said after the ruling.
AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Senate's unanimous August exit shelved Trump's SAVE America Act without a single objection
All 100 senators agreed to leave Washington in the predawn hours of August 8, sidelining President Trump's push for voter-ID legislation and raising questions about the GOP majority's appetite for the fight. At 4:57 a.m. on a Saturday morning, with most of America asleep, the United States Senate wrapped up its business and scattered for […] The post Senate's unanimous August exit shelved Trump's SAVE America Act without a single objection appeared first on American Almanac .
All 100 senators agreed to leave Washington in the predawn hours of August 8, sidelining President Trump's push for voter-ID legislation and raising questions about the GOP majority's appetite for the fight. At 4:57 a.m. on a Saturday morning, with most of America asleep, the United States Senate wrapped up its business and scattered for a five-week recess. No senator, Republican or Democrat, objected. The SAVE America Act, Trump's signature election-integrity bill requiring voter ID and proof of citizenship, never came to the floor. And the chamber won't return for real votes until the afternoon of September 15. The mechanics of how it happened matter, because they reveal a quiet consensus that cuts against the public posture of a…Open

Politics Congress Is Fake The House and Senate have drained themselves of power and relevance. Photo by Win McNamee/Getty Images On July 26, Senator Mike Lee (R-UT) wrote a message to Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) in a post on X: 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. On August 8, the Senate went into its customary August recess without objection. No roll call vote was held. The SAVE America Act (which would implement…Open
AMERICANALMANAC (Alex Tanzer) - Senate leaves town without passing SAVE America Act, punting voter integrity fight to September
Senate Republicans departed Washington for a six-week August recess without passing the SAVE America Act, leaving Trump's top election integrity priority in limbo even as the midterm calendar shrinks.

Senate Republicans departed Washington for a six-week August recess without passing the SAVE America Act, leaving Trump's top election integrity priority in limbo even as the midterm calendar shrinks. After a grueling session that stretched into early Saturday morning, the Senate adjourned with the voter integrity bill still stuck below the 60-vote threshold needed to clear the filibuster. Senators Mike Lee of Utah, Ron Johnson of Wisconsin, and Rick Scott of Florida huddled in Majority Leader John Thune's office after speaking directly with President Trump, who intervened to pause a vote on Johnson's $150 billion budget blueprint over concerns it would fail on the floor. The three senators emerged with a new plan: fold elements of the…Open
AXIOS (Stef W. Kight) - Thune's next nightmare
Senate Majority Leader John Thune has one of the toughest jobs in Washington. It could get even harder next year. Why it matters: Thune is one of the few Republicans in Washington who's managed to say "no" to President Trump and still keep his job. But the Senate leader could enter the next Congress with diminished power, leading a conference whose loyalty increasingly lies with Trump. - Republican control of Congress could be weakened , if not lost. - The Senate's MAGA flank is poised to grow. - And Trump — who has been relatively restrained in his criticism of Thune even as his demands to pass the SAVE America Act and kill the filibuster remain unmet — will have nothing to lose in the last two years of his presidency. Zoom in:…
JUSTTHENEWS (Kevin Killough) - Sen. Lee pressures GOP leaders to cancel or delay August recess until election-security bill passes

AXIOS (Stef W. Kight) - Thune's shield against Trump
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is pulling off something today's Republicans rarely attempt: telling President Trump "no." Why it matters: Pressure from Trump and the MAGA base is piling up on Thune (R-S.D.), especially over a voter ID bill, but he has an important insurance policy: GOP senators have his back. - "I think he's got strong support. I read all the stories, but I think mostly that's made up by reporters," Sen. Mike Crapo (R-Idaho) told Axios. - "Leaders absorb some of the punishment, but I think he's doing great. No one could do a better job than he is right now," Sen. Roger Marshall (R-Kan.) told Axios. - "His cred in the conference has never been stronger," Sen. Kevin Cramer (R-N.D.) told Axios.
