Video: Trump Asked About Thune Saying Somebody Should Get On The Phone & Whip Votes
STATEMENT OF EUGENE DELGAUDIO
"JOHN THUNE is being exposed from all directions. He says Trump should help with getting votes and Trump calls his bluff, TODAY, that of course he will make calls to pass the Save Act and has stated so. This is all about exposing John Thune's total lack of cooperation with the Trump administration every day. There should be enough votes to pass the Save Act IF YOU JUST STAY IN SESSION LONG ENOUGH," says Eugene Delgaudio, president of Public Advocate.
"Back on June 9 it was widely reported that 50 Senators voted yes and if Vice president Vance is there you get 51 votes to pass it, "says Eugene Delgaudio.
But Lee's attempt did hit 50 votes, with Collins flipping her vote to support the original version of the SAVE America Act.
Lee cheered the moment on X shortly after as the vote-a-rama still raged and noted that, with Vice President JD Vance serving as a possible 51st vote, the SAVE America Act could pass.
