Cornyn reverses on filibuster stance to push Trump's SAVE Act in Senate
Sen. John Cornyn, a longtime defender of the Senate filibuster, has reversed his stance and is now pushing for changes to enact the Trump-backed SAVE Act in the Senate, which aims to expand voter ID requirements nationwide.
Sen. John Cornyn has reversed his stance on the filibuster to push for the passage of the SAVE Act in the Senate, a bill backed by former President Trump that aims to restrict voter ID laws in some states. The move marks a sharp break from Cornyn's long-standing defense of the filibuster. Republicans are being urged to enact 'whatever changes' necessary to advance the bill, which has faced opposition from Democrats and some moderate Republicans. The decision is seen as a significant shift for Cornyn, who had previously been a stalwart defender of the Senate's procedural tradition.
