Trump criticizes Senate Republicans over filibuster fight

President Donald Trump said he is frustrated with some Senate Republicans for refusing to end the filibuster, a procedural rule that allows a minority of senators to block most bills. He argued that removing it would help advance his agenda, including the SAVE America Act. The legislation would require proof of citizenship to register to vote and tighten rules around mailin voting, according to the article. Trump said Senate Majority Leader John Thune is not the problem, but he blamed a small group of GOP senators for resisting the move. The article says Republican leaders have not shown interest in eliminating the filibuster, even as Trump warned that Democrats would try to do so if they regain control of the Senate. The SAVE America Act has also faced setbacks in recent Senate votes.
