Republicans, who control both the House and Senate, are preparing to leave town for the July 4 recess — seeing their efforts to govern once again go down in flames at the hands of the party’s leader, President Donald J. Trump.
Trump stormed into the Senate on Wednesday for a meeting with members of the GOP caucus over a range of issues, highlighted by his push for the chamber to pass the SAVE America Act. The legislation is a wide-ranging piece of GOP priorities for reforming electoral systems, which includes voter ID mandates as well as efforts to cut back on mail-in ballots, which Trump baselessly views as a vehicle for fraud.
