Thune threw cold water on the con's SAVE act push again [View all]
Senate Majority Leader John Thune on Monday reiterated that there would not be changes to Senate rules in order to pass a Republican-led election reform bill that President Donald Trump has demanded be sent to his desk.
"Yeah, that's not going to happen," Thune said when asked by ABC News about whether Senate rules requiring 60 votes to advance most legislative matters could be altered in light of Trump's new pressure campaign to pass the SAVE America Act, which would change voter ID requirements ahead of November's midterm elections.
