Overview
- Senate Majority Leader John Thune said no commitments were made to reinstate a talking filibuster or otherwise change procedures for the SAVE Act.
- He cautioned that a standing filibuster could consume extensive floor time, with estimates reaching up to 940 hours.
- Rep. Anna Paulina Luna says White House assurances about a vote influenced her support for the $1.2 trillion funding bill, a claim Thune contradicted.
- Thune affirmed support for the legislation and said a vote will be scheduled whenever it can be worked into the calendar, with no date set.
- The bill, which has passed the House and has 49 Republican co-sponsors in the Senate, faces unified Democratic resistance and would need at least seven Democrats to advance.
