Trump’s Election Push Hits Senate Wall | Spokane News

House Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing the SAVE America Act — a plan to federalize elections — through a military funding bill using reconciliation, a tactic Trump backs as his top priority.

Senate GOP leader John Thune is stuck between Trump’s pressure and Senate rules he can’t override. This signals a troubling shift: Trump’s inner circle is now more willing to ignore constitutional limits, even as checks and balances, like the parliamentarian’s role, remain a major obstacle. With midterms looming, Trump’s obsession with election control is escalating — and the GOP is caught in a messy, high-stakes political dance.
