Rep. Anna Paulina Luna SHREDS Senate Majority Leader John Thune for Planning to Cave to Schumer and Kill the SAVE Act

 Representative Anna Paulina Luna and Senate Majority Leader John Thune about the SAVE Act, which aims to enforce voter ID and proof of citizenship in elections. It highlights contrasted political positions and the challenges faced in legislating these reforms.

• SAVE Act Overview: The SAVE Act has been passed by the House with unanimous support from Republican lawmakers. It requires documentary proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections.

• Senate Majority Leader's Stance: Senate Majority Leader John Thune has indicated he does not support a standing filibuster required to pass the SAVE Act with only 50 votes, stating there aren’t enough votes to change the filibuster rule. He has not signed on to co-sponsor the bill and is reportedly aligned with Democratic Minority Leader Chuck Schumer in not wanting to proceed with a Senate vote on the matter.

• Luna's Criticism: Rep. Luna has criticized Thune, labeling his views as "very disturbing. " She argues that he is ignoring the desires of Republican voters, who largely support voter ID laws. She contends that Thune's actions show a failure of leadership in the Senate.

• Bipartisan Support: The SAVE Act received support even from a Democrat, Rep. Henry Cuellar from Texas, highlighting its potential as a bipartisan issue. Luna emphasizes that voter ID is an important topic that resonates with many Americans.

• Luna’s Challenge to Thune: In her remarks, Luna suggests that if Thune is relying on President Trump’s influence to maintain his position while opposing critical voter ID legislation, he might need to reconsider his political career.

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna expresses strong dissatisfaction with Senate Majority Leader John Thune's reluctance to advance the SAVE Act, which she believes has widespread support among constituents. The political dynamics unveil a broader debate about voter ID legislation, with implications for future legislative actions in Congress.
