WATCH LIVE: President Trump Delivers Remarks at the NRCC Annual Fundraising Dinner – 7:20 PM ET
President Trump will deliver remarks tonight at the annual National Republican Congressional Committee fundraising dinner in Washington, DC.
The event, hosted by the House GOP fundraising committee, will be held at Washington, DC’s Union Station.
This comes as Senate Republicans, led by RINO Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD), struggle to whip support for the SAVE America Act.
As The Gateway Pundit previously reported, Thune suggested Republicans may resort to reconciliation to bypass Democrat obstruction and pass the SAVE America Act with just 50 votes plus Vice President JD Vance.
However, Thune has faced blowback from House Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) and Senator Mike Lee (R-UT), who say that the move would fail due to Senate rules and the Senate Parliamentarian’s veto power.
Luna accused the Senate of “sidestepping” SAVE America and “looking to play the blame game with the parliamentarian.“
Because the SAVE America Act is a policy change, requiring proof of citizenship to vote, the Senate Parliamentarian will almost certainly strip it from any reconciliation bill, Lee explained.
The only viable option would be to nuke the filibuster and pass the SAVE America Act with a simple majority in the Senate. This would also allow the Senate to reopen the government and pass other legislation for Trump to sign into law before the next Congress is seated.
If Republicans can't pass Trump's agenda, they deserve to lose the midterms, which appears likely to happen.
The President is scheduled to speak at 7:20 pm ET.
