The president also again urged the Senate GOP leader to nix the filibuster.
✨ Key Highlights
- President Trump has directed Senate Majority Leader John Thune to keep the Senate in session in order to pass the SAVE America Act.
- The push reflects Trump's effort to press Senate Republican leadership on advancing his legislative priorities.
- Trump also renewed his call for the Senate GOP leader to eliminate the filibuster, a procedural rule requiring 60 votes to advance most legislation.
- Removing the filibuster would allow legislation to pass by a simple majority, a change that has long been resisted by many senators in both parties.
- The demands underscore ongoing tension between the president and Senate leadership over the pace and process of passing his agenda.
