Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis said Tuesday he does not expect the Senate to pass President Donald Trump's top election bill before lawmakers leave Washington for the August recess, casting doubt on the legislation despite an ongoing push by Trump and several Senate Republicans.

"The chances of the Senate passing the federal SAVE Act before recess are basically zero," DeSantis wrote on X. "Happy to be wrong about this but I don't think I am."
