President Donald Trump’s top election integrity priority has been stalled in the Senate for months, and with the passing of Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., the push has lost a key player in getting the bill across the line. Graham was a vocal proponent of the SAVE America Act and the Senate Budget Committee chair, a position crucial in setting the foundation for the party-line process Trump has demanded Republicans take to pass the bill.
Election Integrity Fight
The House is gearing up to launch a third budget reconciliation attempt to fund the Pentagon and attach a version of the SAVE America Act to the party-line undertaking. Senator Ron Johnson, R-Wis., is expected to take the Senate Budget Committee gavel and is already getting up to speed with staff on the committee and his colleagues in the House.
Johnson has spoken with his House counterpart, House Budget Committee Chair Jodey Arrington, R-Texas, and is doing what he can to organize the effort so they can succeed. The Senate is waiting on what the House produces, and there’s no guarantee that their product will pass muster with Republicans in the upper chamber.
