But with only 53 GOP seats, they lack the 60 needed. House Republicans tried a different route with a budget bill including $10 billion for voting changes, but Senate Majority Leader Thune says they still don’t have enough votes. As the Senate heads into its final legislative stretch before the August break, tensions rise: Thune wants to focus on funding and Russia sanctions, and many GOP senators need time to campaign for reelection. Some, like Utah’s Mike Lee, are pressuring leadership, warning this could affect both midterms and future GOP leadership. Thune’s asking Trump for help, but the President’s patience is fading. Experts warn the bill could disenfranchise 20 million Americans who lack easy access to required documents. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
