Trump, along with other conservatives such as Senators Mike Lee and Rick Scott, are calling for the Senate to stay in session to push this legislation forward, criticizing the current leadership for perhaps leaving town without passing it. Despite growing pressure, Thune has indicated he lacks the votes to bypass the filibuster and is not willing to disrupt Senate norms. The House GOP has incorporated the Save America Act into their legislative agenda in an attempt to break Senate opposition, but it remains unlikely to pass without Democratic support. Senate Republicans are scheduled to meet soon, but some members are hesitant to jeopardize Senate norms to advance these bills amid ongoing political debates.  <\/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\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"4\">Donald Trump<\/a> is joining the growing chorus of Republicans calling on Senate Majority Leader <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/john-thune\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"178\">John Thune<\/a> (R-SD) to forgo an August recess to pass the <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/save-america-act\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"22939\">SAVE America Act<\/a> in a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/final-straw-hollywood-reporter-sources-say-disney-wanted-to-fire-carano-in-november\/\" title=\"\u2018Final Straw...: Hollywood Reporter Sources Say Disney Wanted To Fire Carano In November\">recent social media post<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cJohn Thune should not allow the United States Senate to \u2018leave town\u2019 until it passes The Save America Act or, far better still, TERMINATES THE FILIBUSTER, where Republicans can then quickly pass everything they ever dreamed of, including a full and deep throated SAVE AMERICA ACT, the Budget, and the ever looming Debt Ceiling disaster, 1929!\u201d Trump <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/truthsocial.com\/@realDonaldTrump\/posts\/116992066632190700\">posted on Truth Social<\/a> on Monday morning.<\/p>\n<section class=\"explore-more-section\" id=\"wex-recommended-widget\">\n<div class=\"magazine-container single\">\n<h1 class=\"magazine-title mt-2\">Recommended Stories<\/h1>\n<p>             <i class=\"fa-solid fa-play icon\"><\/i>         <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-grid\">\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/4660548\/trump-senate-recess-save-america-act\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Trump tells Thune to cancel August recess unless SAVE America Act passes<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/4663967\/bill-pulte-announces-dni-layoffs-senate-jay-clayton-nomination-vote\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>Bill Pulte announces more DNI layoffs as Senate takes up replacement\u2019s nomination<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<div class=\"explore-card\">                         <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/senate\/4658594\/john-thune-big-beautiful-bill-late-night-drama-senate\/?itm_source=parsely-api\">                             <\/p>\n<div class=\"explore-thumb-wrap\">                                                                                                                                  <\/div>\n<h3>How the Big Beautiful Bill became law: Late-night drama in the Senate<\/h3>\n<p>                         <\/a>                     <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/senate-republicans\/\" data-type=\"post_tag\" data-id=\"1354\">Senate Republicans<\/a> will convene on Capitol Hill on Monday evening with just two weeks before they leave town for a month, but Thune has repeatedly insisted he does not have enough votes to bypass the 60-vote threshold to get around a filibuster, nor is he willing to disrupt Senate norms to appease Trump despite the growing pressure.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wex-inarticle-ad wex-inarticle-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\">\n<div class=\"wex-ad-wrap wex-ad-art-dsk-inart-1\" style=\"min-height:90px\"><span class=\"wex-ad-label\" hidden>Advertisement<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-3182201-15\" data-wex-ad=\"art-dsk-inart-1\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe Dumocrats will do it on day one, and can\u2019t believe how lucky they got with this Senate leadership.
