What's Trump's beef with Senate Republicans?

President Trump is angry that Senate Republicans haven't passed the Save America Act, a strict voter ID law that he has made his top legislative priority. And Senate Republicans are frustrated that Trump seems to be undermining their efforts to hold the Republican majority after the midterm election.
