Trump Urges Senate Republicans to Pass SAVE America Act

Outlets on more than one side describe Trump pressing Senate Republicans and the pressure exposing divisions within the conference. The coverage reports resistance to his demands, though it differs on which conflicts it emphasizes. Left-leaning outlets portray the pressure as weakening Trump's ability to win senators' support, emphasizing resistance and demands for written commitments. Center outlets focus on divisions over Trump's broader agenda, including the SAVE America Act, a recess cancellation and a budget package for the Iran war.
