SAVE Act shelved after John Thune pulls support
Senate Majority Leader John Thune announced he will not advance the SAVE Act, effectively blocking the GOP voter-fraud bill tied to Donald Trump. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna posted, "Just so America knows, after two weeks in recess, John Thune is no longer considering the SAVE America Act," and pro-Trump activists have publicly called for his removal. The shelving preserves current federal voting procedures for now and removes a major Republican vehicle to tighten election rules ahead of the 2024 campaign.
