Trumps SAVE America Act Gets Another John Thune Excuse - He Wants Government Funding First [3RSj0ilQp4f]
Senate Majority Leader John Thune says he can't count to 50 right now on a budget resolution — the same resolution that carries Trumps SAVE America Act through reconciliation. He says funding the government has to come first. That is not a scheduling problem. That is the job description of the man refusing to do it. The House already took its vote. Its defense bill passed 216 to 212 with the SAVE America Act attached — six Democrats voted for the overall bill, seven Republicans voted against it, and every single member is on the record. The Senate's answer is an invisible group of unnamed Republican senators nobody will identify. One chamber voted. The other is managing the failure. JR Majewski is a U.S. Air Force veteran, spent 23 years in the nuclear industry, and ran for Congress in Ohio's 9th District, endorsed by President Trump. Here's what actually happened: - Thune's stated reason for the delay: he "can't count to 50 right now on a budget resolution" - Thune says government funding comes first, which holds up the reconciliation package that could move the SAVE America Act through the Senate - The House passed its defense bill 216 to 212 with the SAVE America Act attached - Six Democrats voted for that bill and seven Republicans voted against it — the House put every member on the record - The Senate process is not automatic and the legislation is not in its final form, but the House still took the vote - Steve Scalise: Congress should be able to "walk and chew gum at the same time" - The House moved the budget framework and government funding during the same week - John Kennedy warned that negotiating with Chuck Schumer first risks Republicans getting rolled again - Whipping fifty votes is the entire job description of a Senate Majority Leader — organizing the conference, applying pressure, and getting the votes is nobody else's work - "I can't count to 50" protects the senators who won't commit, protects Thune from confronting them, and guarantees voters never learn who is responsible - This is excuse number four — the filibuster argument came first, then FISA, then the rest of the reasons, and the outcome never changed - Nobody is asking Thune to guarantee an outcome he cannot legally guarantee. Put it on the floor, force the vote, and let every Republican senator explain that vote back home.
