""I am not going to sign anything until this is approved," Trump said of the SAVE legislation, which would require photo IDs at polling stations. "They'll have to go to the filibuster, and maybe it will be the talking filibuster, like the old days.""
""You have to show me how, in the end, it prevails and succeeds," Thune told reporters. "What people don't realize, I think, is it's unlimited debate, but it's also unlimited amendments.""
""We've already won," he said. "But we haven't won enough. We are determined to achieve total victory over this terrorist regime.""
Trump has made passage of the SAVE America Act, which requires photo IDs at polling stations, a non-negotiable condition for signing other legislation. He is willing to invoke a talking filibuster to force the issue, though Senate Majority Leader John Thune expressed reluctance about this procedural tactic due to its unintended consequences, including unlimited amendments. The Department of Homeland Security reauthorization is exempt from Trump's threat. House Republicans gathered in Florida to discuss legislative strategy while also seeking updates on Iran policy and energy costs following recent military strikes. Trump claimed victory in Iran while indicating more work remains, describing the timeline as "soon, very soon."
