President Donald Trump is set to meet with Senate Republicans over lunch, amid ongoing legislative clashes. The meeting, invited by Senate GOP Steering Committee Chairman and Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., is expected to be tense, with Trump demanding that the Senate approve the SAVE America Act, which requires proof of citizenship to vote.
Legislative Disputes
Trump has been at odds with Senate Republicans over several issues, including the SAVE America Act and the elimination of the filibuster. Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., has tried to explain to the president that there aren’t enough votes to alter the filibuster, but Trump remains insistent.
The president has also been critical of Senate Republican leaders, including Thune, for not delivering on his legislative agenda. Trump has been frustrated with the Senate’s inability to pass the SAVE America Act, which he sees as a key priority.
The meeting on Wednesday is expected to be intense, with Trump likely to push his agenda and Senate Republicans pushing back. The outcome of the meeting is uncertain, but it could have significant implications for the future of the Republican Party and the country.
