Four Senate Republicans again unite with Dems to block Trump's SAVE America Act
Fox News ^ | June 4, 2026 | Alex Miller

Four Senate Republicans broke ranks to kill another effort to pass President Donald Trump's marquee voter ID and election integrity legislation as the GOP marches to fund immigration enforcement.

Just like last time, Sens. Susan Collins, R-Maine, Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, and Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., and Thom Tills, R-N.C., joined all Democrats to thwart the move.

It’s the second attempt by Republicans to attach the Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act to their budget reconciliation package, and the second time that they’ve failed to get the legislation across the line months after launching a quasi-floor takeover to debate the bill.

Trying to attach the bill to the nearly $70 billion budget reconciliation package geared toward funding Immigration and Customs Enforcement and Border Patrol meant that the amendment from Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., needed at least 60 votes to pass.

That threshold again proved too high a bar on Thursday night.

I don’t care about the Republicans any longer.

I don’t care if they lose Congress.

What good are they?

Alaska uses Dominion. A fabricated database of results is sent to the Alaska system from Dominion’s headquarters in Serbia, via the Huawei server that John Brennan’s company installed in 2011, in preparation for 2012 election stolen for Obama.

Murkowski has to vote against SAVE. She is where she is because of Dominion’s cheating.

A lot, or have your forgotten the great harm Democrats have done. Ketanji Jackson Brown, anyone? Spending that makes Trump look like a tightwad? Hamstringing the military. DEI. Handing that failed Georgia Gov candidate a billion dollars. Etc.

I DESPISE WHAT THESE TURNCOATS HAVE DONE. But that leaves 90% who have done pretty good, and even the turncoats have allowed Trump to put some good people on the Supreme Court.

Here is the real reason: John Thune
John Thune, AKA “Tom Daschle, Jr.,” is the classic RINO.
Absolutely worthless. He loves the swamp.

I no longer care. I don’t buy the argument it would be worse.

Senate Republicans are the worse.

I think because they knew that you cannot put the SAVE AMERICA ACT in a budget bill that it would get tossed out. Basically they did this so they can say “Well at least we tried” NO, you pass it SEPARATELY, ICE and DHS funding is NOT important right now, passing the SAVE ACT is the MOST IMPORTANT BILL they will EVER PASS

I am surprised Republican controlled states don’t simply run their voter rolls through the SAVE database

1) Cleans up the rolls
2) Shows how damn easy it is
3) Many states already have ID requirement
4) Embarrass the RINO’s into compliance.....of course some are simply being A-holes to Trump. They need to be reminded they will be A-Holes a lot longer than Trump will be Prez

As I recall, Trump said he would sign no bill until the Save America Act is passed. Is that still in effect?
