President Donald Trumpfumed at Senate Republicans on Tuesday over their continued blockage of his legislative agenda.
Trump has repeatedly called for Senate Republicans to pass his SAVE Act, which would overhaul the way U.S. elections are conducted, before their August recess. However, Republicans have shot down those calls, arguing that there are not 60 votes to pass the bill and that they are unwilling to eliminate the filibuster to do so.
Trump claimed in a post on Truth Social that Sen. Ron Johnson (R-WI) has a scheme up his sleeve to pass part of the bill before the recess, which he called a “critical first step.” He then fumed at Republicans to “get it done!”
“Senator Ron Johnson is working hard with Senate Republican Leadership to adopt a Budget Resolution before the August recess,” Trump wrote. “This is the first step towards getting as much of THE SAVE AMERICA ACT as possible in a Budget Bill, funding our Troops, and helping our Farmers.”
“I am calling on the Senate to get this critical first step done before the August recess,” he added. “This Resolution can be adopted at a simple Majority threshold. GET IT DONE!”
