Trump Urges Senate Republicans to Pass SAVE America Act

Outlets across the spectrum report that Trump pressed Senate Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, including by urging them to eliminate the filibuster or remain in session. They also report that Thune resisted and said the votes were lacking. Left-leaning outlets portray Trump's pressure as provoking Republican resistance, with one article also framing the bill as a voting-rights issue. Center outlets focus on the Trump-Thune dispute over votes, the filibuster and Senate scheduling. Right-leaning outlets emphasize Trump's push for action before recess and Thune's response, sometimes focusing on whether Thune should remain leader.
