Save Act: Trump’s Next Play?
Now that President Donald Trump has vanquished the rebellious Thomas Massie from the U.S. House, will Trump now move to aggressively push through the Save Act that has stood stagnant in the U.S. Senate? That’s one likely consequence from the Massey vote. Trump can now approach every Save Act holdout in the U.S. Senate, and warn them: Get behind the bill or he will send them packing!
And he’s got the evidence to show he can evict them. Not only Massey, but also the arrogant Louisiana Sen. Bill Cassidy, who had voted to impeach Trump, went down handily in defeat over the weekend.
So Thune, Lisa Murkowski or any other Senate reprobate can now make a do or die choose: Support legitimate American elections, or face the whip! Even Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer is now worried, as Doug in Exile underscores.
