(The Center Square) – Pressure from the Trump administration is mounting on Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., to revive old filibuster rules and ensure the passage of Republicans’ elections reform bill.
In multiple social media posts, President Donald Trump promoted “using the Filibuster, or Talking Filibuster, in order to pass THE SAVE AMERICA ACT, an 88% issue with ALL VOTERS,” adding that the bill “supersedes everything else.”
