Trump promises 'bad' Republicans 'everything they ever dreamed of' if they pass his bill
President Donald Trump took to social media Wednesday to demand Republican lawmakers fall in line with his controversial voter ID bill known as the SAVE Act, advance his agenda and get “everything Republicans have ever dreamed of,” adding that he’ll be “watching” them “with tears in [his] eyes.”“Get the bad Republicans to approve it or, better yet, Terminate the Filibuster and approve it, AND EVERYTHING ELSE REPUBLICANS HAVE EVER DREAMED OF,” Trump wrote on his social media platform Truth Social, referring to the SAVE Act. “The Dumocrats will do it in hour one, 100%. Republicans will feel very stupid if they don’t do it first. I’ll be watching with tears in my eyes!!!”Trump has long called for Republicans to terminate the filibuster, the Senate rule that allows for members to block a measure from advancing that falls short of 60 votes. Some Senate Republicans, however, including Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), have remained opposed to terminating the filibuster.Trump also raged against Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) over her affordable housing bill, which passed on a bipartisan basis Tuesday. While the bill’s passage was seen by some GOP lawmakers as a legislative win, Trump dismissed its relevance and pressured them to focus on his voter ID bill.“The Elizabeth ‘Pocahontas’ Warren centric housing bill, which is of minor importance compared to lower interest rates, and even [Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act], pales in comparison to passing THE SAVE AMERICA ACT,” Trump wrote. “That is what Americans, both Dumocrats, Republicans, and everyone else, care about.”
