‘I just sent a letter to Mitch McConnell asking his committee to stop stalling the SAVE Act,’ Rep. Brandon Gill said.
Old glitching Mitch appears to be glitching again. Is his Trump hate showing?
As Sen. Mitch McConnell prepares to ride off into the congressional sunset, the Kentucky Republican is said to be sticking it to President Donald Trump one more time. And the sticking this time, not surprisingly, involves one of Trump’s most urgent concerns: election integrity.
“Oh, yeah, that’s what McConnell is doing. Personally speaking, I think it still stems from Jan. 6 (2021 Capitol riots),” a top congressional aide told The Federalist on Thursday afternoon, as the battle over the SAVE Act ground down to trench warfare.
“Of course, Trump hasn’t had nice things to say about McConnell, and vice versa, but I think it’s personal, no matter what (McConnell) says,” the aide added.
The 83-year-old former Majority Leader’s latest trip to the hospital this week for “flu-like” symptoms has slowed the pace even more so on whatever version of the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act (SAVE Act) the listless GOP majority believes can squeak through. But McConnell’s intransigence on a bill that humbly asks for proof of U.S. citizenship to vote in U.S. elections has been felt over the nearly 300 days since the Republican-controlled House passed the measure.
To say House Republicans have had it, doesn’t quite say enough.
“I just sent a letter to Mitch McConnell asking his committee to stop stalling the SAVE Act,” Texas Rep. Brandon Gill wrote on X earlier this week. “The House did its job. The Senate needs to do theirs.”
The letter, signed by Republican Study Committee members, reminds McConnell, chairman of the Senate Rules and Administration Committee, that he has “unique authority to add this critical legislation to the markup calendar and advance it to the Senate floor for a vote.”
“As the 2026 midterm elections are swiftly approaching, Congress cannot afford to delay the consideration of critical legislation that will assure the trustworthiness of our elections,” Gill warned. The Texas congressman notes that 48 of McConnell’s Republican Senate colleagues — a super majority of the Republican Senate Conference — have cosponsored the legislation. The Kentucky Republican is not one of them.
‘Thune Must Bring It’
Dealing with what Lincoln called “a case of the slows”, The authors of the SAVE Act have introduced the SAVE America Act, which adds a voter identification requirement to the original measure. Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., last week said the provision requiring voters present an eligible photo ID before casting their ballots would come to the floor “at some point.”
Rep. Chip Roy, R-Texas, who co-authored the SAVE America Act with Utah Republican Sen. Mike Lee, said the House will take up the “improved version” of the bill next week.
“Once the bill passes the House, Leader Thune must bring it to the Senate floor and force Democrats to explain why they oppose securing our elections,” Roy said in a statement......SNIP
Soon enough...
Mitch, McCain, Romney, Bush, etc. never realized that the leftist elites/deep staters never considered those guys as equals. Rather, the Deep State kept them around as pets.
This bum STOLE the election from Chris McDaniel in Mississ ippi, allowing demented lapdog Thad Cochran to purloin many thousands of illegal votes in the primary runoff.

sticking it to President Donald Trump? You mean sticking it to the American People.
Let’s hope somebody smothers Mitch first.
McConnell the best friend the democrats have.
Mitch, also the GOP bagman.
“Team Mitch” is a cancer on Liberty and the will of the American People, and he doesn’t care.
Sounds exactly the same and it will be the same disastrous result for the country.
He’ll be assuming room temperature very soon if his health continues to decline. He can burn in hell with McCain.
I bet Mitch doesn’t know who he is, where he is at, and what he is doing.
He should be stripped of any responsibilities.
Mitch is a Deep State troll, it’t not about Trump! He is downing the bidding of those who pay him the most.
Isn’t hos wife Chinese, yed I think she is.
I think she is his handler
