During a press briefing, Leavitt stated that Trump's 'patience is running out' regarding the Senate's failure to pass the SAVE America Act. Thune suggested that Leavitt and her team should focus on securing votes rather than blaming Republicans, emphasizing the need to address the Democrats who have blocked the bill. The exchange highlights the difficulties the election bill faces in the Senate, where some Republicans have previously voted against it. Trump has expressed frustration with Senate Republicans, urging them to act on the SAVE Act, which includes new voter requirements.
