“this afternoon, Republicans will move to bring a pernicious, radical bill before the Senate, the so-called SAVE America Act. At a moment when war is consuming the Middle East, when costs are rising, when ICE agents are terrorizing our communities, and when job growth in America is weakening, MAGA Republicans have chosen to focus on voter suppression. We all know why Donald Trump wants this bill. He is afraid Republicans will lose in November. Trump says: Pass the SAVE Act, and it will ``guarantee the midterms.'' Imagine manipulating the electoral process to try to make himself the winner when he thinks he is going to lose--not surprising, I suppose, from Donald Trump. The senior Senator from Utah says: Republicans will lose power--likely for a long time--if we don't get SAVE America passed. It is funny. I don't remember MAGA Republicans screaming about stolen elections and voter fraud after the 2024 election that they won. Well, the same rules that governed the 2024 election are going to be the ones that govern the 2026 election. The only difference is that this time, MAGA Republicans know they are in trouble politically, so now they are suddenly saying that the system is compromised and broken and that it needs to be changed. It is all lies--all lies. And they want to drag down the entire Senate for who knows how long in a vain attempt to pass this bill. Let's be clear. Senate Democrats will never allow the SAVE Act to pass this Chamber.”
