President Donald Trump canceled a planned signing of a bipartisan housing measure, saying he would wait until Congress passed the SAVE America Act. The move sharpened tensions with Senate Republicans, including Majority Leader John Thune, who says the voting bill lacks the votes to pass.
Trump announced on social media that the housing bill signing was canceled until Congress passed the SAVE America Act, which would impose new citizenship-proof and voter-ID requirements. He has also called for eliminating the Senate filibuster to pass the bill, while Thune has said there are not enough votes to do so. Thune supports the bill but has called passage under current conditions unrealistic.
The article describes disagreements among Senate Republicans over Trump’s priorities and the party’s approach ahead of the midterm elections. Rick Scott urged colleagues to hold regular votes on the SAVE America Act, while Mike Lee advocated passing it and Thune warned that the votes were not there. Senators also raised questions about the Iran agreement and Trump’s handling of a national intelligence director nomination.
