President Donald Trump kicked off his work week Monday morning by continuing to browbeat Senate Majority Leader John Thune over the restrictive voting bill he considers to be his party’s best chance of retaining control of Congress in the upcoming midterm elections.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump called on Thune to ditch the Senate’s annual August recess unless Republicans pass the SAVE America Act — which currently lacks enough support to overcome the Senate’s 60-vote supermajority requirement for most legislation — or change Senate rules to allow Republicans to pass any legislation with a simple majority.
