ScreenshotSenator Rick Scott (R-FL), Chairman of the Senate Republican Steering Committee, invited President Donald Trump to attend Wednesday’s Senate GOP luncheon specifically to discuss the SAVE America Act, the most important piece of legislation in American history.Scott is a close and loyal ally of the president. He lost the race for Majority Leader to Thune and Cornyn in late 2024. Notably, Scott did not even request a blessing from top Senate GOP leadership before inviting the president. He simply did what needed to be done, according to Fox News.More from the news outlet:Scott teamed up with Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, advocating that the Senate approve the SAVE America Act. It requires proof of citizenship to vote. This advocacy is driving Thune and other members of the GOP brass batty since the bill failed twice. Scott and Lee want the Senate to get onto the SAVE America Act and stay on it until the measure passes. But few understand how exhaustion somehow conjures a majority of senators to suddenly support the bill.Moreover, the president demands that they eliminate the filibuster. If the SAVE America Act doesn’t have the necessary votes to pass, there’s no way it commands 60 yeas to break a filibuster.[…]So expect some intense discussions Wednesday over what the president wants the Senate to do. Thune has tried to tell the president repeatedly what the Senate is capable of, based on the various parliamentary equations.And there’s fear among Republicans that the president may attempt to sow discord about the midterm election outcomes if Democrats flip the House and/or Senate — and Republicans never passed the SAVE America Act.Trump sports plenty of supporters in the Senate, but he’s frustrated Senate Republicans by repeatedly yanking the legislative rug out from under his own party for weeks now.On Wednesday, Trump walked out of a closed-door Senate Republican lunch after pressing lawmakers to move forward with the SAVE America Act.WATCH: WOW!

Trump called the legislation a “National Emergency” priority and signaled he is unwilling to continue business as usual while election integrity reforms remain stalled in the Senate.Trump wrote on Truth Social:“Today’s Housing News Conference and Signing is hereby cancelled until such time as we pass the desperately needed SAVE AMERICA ACT, which I consider to be a National Emergency. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”The post Rick Scott and Mike Lee Stand with Trump as Senate Leadership Faces Mounting Pressure to Pass SAVE America Act During Senate GOP Luncheon — Trump Cancels Bipartisan Bill Signing, Declares Election Security a ‘National Emergency’ appeared first on The Gateway Pundit.
