After Three Senate Roadblocks, Republicans Eye New SAVE America Act Strategy

For the third time in two years, House Republicans have passed election integrity legislation, only to watch it stall in the Senate. But two officials told the California Courier how they expect the SAVE America Act to be passed.

Senate Democrats and some Senate Republican leaders drew backlash from the Trump administration and the conservative base during that period. In May 2025, Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, tried to pass the bill by unanimous consent, but Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., blocked it using procedural objections.
