White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt emphasized Trump\u2019s desire to see the act pass before the August recess, highlighting public support for voter ID and proof of citizenship provisions. Despite Republican control of the House and Senate, there is a call for Senate Republicans, including thune, to deliver the votes needed for the legislation, with Trump urging supporters to pressure him. Meanwhile, the White House aims to keep the government funded beyond September 30, tho disagreements persist between House and Senate strategies. The administration criticizes Democrats for obstructing efforts to pass funding bills, and discussions continue among lawmakers and the White House on how to resolve these legislative challenges.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<article class=\"fn-body\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">President <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"4\">Donald Trump\u2019s<\/a> patience is \u201crunning out\u201d with the Senate and Senate Majority Leader <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/john-thune\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"178\">John Thune<\/a> (R-SD) amid pushback regarding Trump\u2019s top priority, the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/save-america-act\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"22939\">SAVE America Act<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cHis patience is running out,\u201d White House press secretary <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/karoline-leavitt\/\" type=\"post_tag\" id=\"11685\">Karoline Leavitt<\/a> told reporters on Thursday. \u201cHe wants to see as much of the SAVE America [Act] passed as possible by the August recess.
