Trump supporters see the late-night Senate showdown as progress, not failure. They believe the SAVE Act is gaining real strength.
A clear majority of Senate Republicans now backs Trump’s push for citizenship verification in federal voting. This marks a significant shift in party alignment.
Susan Collins changed her vote on a key amendment, showing that opposition among Republicans is fading. However, Mitch McConnell and a few others still hesitate to upend Senate traditions.
The main fight has moved from vote counts to procedural rules. Conservatives are now challenging the filibuster and the Parliamentarian’s authority.
They argue that outdated “zombie” rules are blocking what voters and a Senate majority clearly want. Changing those rules is the new frontline.
If Republicans take that risky step, the SAVE Act could become a major win for Trump’s second term. If not, it may show how his agenda can still be slowed.
Either way, the momentum is real—and the battle over election integrity is far from over.
