White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reacted to Senate Majority Leader John Thune saying the math doesn’t add up to pass President Donald Trump’s SAVE America Act.
“I think the urgency behind his need to pass the SAVE America Act and his desire to get this country- saving legislation passed have been made quite clear,” Leavitt said of the president on Tuesday.
Thune, R-S.D., had said, “The votes aren’t there to nuke the filibuster, and the votes aren’t there for a talking filibuster.” These are the only options for the Senate to pass the bill without the customary 60 votes to end debate.
