NEWSNATIONNOW (Alexander Bolton and The Hill) - Trump demands throw Senate GOP into disarray

President Trump’s demands that the Senate cancel its August recess to debate the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE America) Act and advance a budget reconciliation package to fund the Iran war have thrown Senate Republicans into disarray. GOP senators are divided over whether to cut short the five-week break, which would take vulnerable Republican incumbent [...]

AXIOS (Stef W. Kight) - Scoop: Inside the White House pitch for pre-election MAGA megabill

White House officials will press Senate Republicans behind closed doors Wednesday to pass a blueprint for another GOP-only megabill before they leave for the August recess, but save any possible debt ceiling increase for later, Axios has learned. Why it matters: Senate Republican leaders have been skeptical that there is the time — or the votes — to get it done. President Trump and his team disagree. - White House officials want the Senate to build in flexibility to jam through as much of the SAVE America Act as possible, and they are insisting it can be crafted to avoid tough amendment votes. Zoom in: Office of Management and Budget director Russell Vought, legislative affairs director James Braid and former House Speaker New…

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:…

What are the potential consequences for John Thune if Republicans maintain the Senate but Democrats take control of the House?
If Republicans hold the Senate and Democrats take the House, Thune could be forced to deal with another Trump impeachment trial, which would make getting anything done close to impossible.

AXIOS (Herb Scribner) - What's in the GOP megabill Trump is rallying behind

House Republicans are pressuring the Senate to advance their reconciliation package as President Trump pushes for quick action. Why it matters: The roughly $95 billion package is House Republicans' latest effort to enact Trump's priorities without Democratic votes using the reconciliation process. - The framework already cleared some early hurdles, but House Republicans are pressing the Senate to move quickly to keep Trump's legislative agenda on track before the midterm elections. - The reconciliation plan would require a simple majority in the Senate and avoid the 60-vote filibuster. - "We are ready to work side-by-side with the Senate to get this done for the American People!" Trump wrote on Truth Social last week. Here are key…

Why does the reconciliation process matter for the Senate vote on this package?
The reconciliation plan would require only a simple majority in the Senate, which allows it to avoid the 60-vote filibuster.

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. Catch up quick: Trump's…
