“The SAVE [America] Act is not just important to President Trump — it’s very important to Texas voters and just the Republican Party writ large,” The Federalist’s Brianna Lyman said regarding Texas Sen. John Cornyn’s recent op-ed encouraging the Senate to do what is needed to pass the SAVE America Act.
“When it comes to the filibuster, I know there’s some questions now about Fetterman and Murkowski tonight about whether they support the SAVE [America] Act, but if they were to support the SAVE [America] Act, and we have 51 votes, [Rep.] Chip Roy laid out that we don’t even need to nuke the filibuster to get this passed. You can have a talking filibuster. Republicans and John Fetterman would have to band together and force senators to speak only two times; when they stop speaking, that’s it. And when they run out of time and things to talk about, it would just automatically go to a 51 majority vote. So you don’t necessarily need to nuke the filibuster. But this is legislation that is extremely popular. It’s an 80-20 issue for Republicans, Democrats, Independents, and it’s common sense election integrity.”
