In a late-night development, senators ended their extended session without meeting President Donald Trump's demands to pass his strict proof-of-citizenship voting bill before the summer recess. The SAVE America Act was not among the key priorities advanced during the overnight votes. Instead, Republican senators have proposed incorporating elements of the voting bill into a broader GOP budget package for funding the Iran war and Pentagon replenishment, which will be revisited when they reconvene in September. Senator Ron Johnson, the GOP budget committee chairman, confirmed that Trump was briefed about this alternative plan. The ongoing standoff underscores the president's ability to exert influence within Congress, as he attempts to set or disrupt the legislative agenda. Although Trump has been pressing Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and others for weeks to pass the SAVE America Act, its lack of Republican support, combined with Democratic opposition, makes its passage highly unlikely. The Senate managed to advance other priorities during the marathon session, including confirming the president's attorney general pick, passing a Russian sanctions package, and funding the government into December. However, a slimmer voting bill requiring voter IDs failed to advance, further complicating efforts to pass Trump's priority legislation. The failure to make progress on the SAVE America Act has sparked an online campaign among Trump's allies in Congress, with a growing group of senators refusing to adjourn for the summer break without passing the bill. As the standoff persisted, Senate Majority Leader McConnell gathered all Republican senators for a meeting at dinnertime. Despite the setback, lawmakers were unable to find an immediate way forward for either the SAVE America Act or the broader budget bill, leading to the adjournment of the session in the early hours of Saturday morning.
