Establishment RINOs are scheming behind the scenes to kill the SAVE Act.
But President Trump hit back in a way no one expected.
And Donald Trump just made one bold move on the SAVE Act that you need to buckle up for.
Establishment Republicans are pleading with President Trump to endorse RINO incumbent John Cornyn ahead of his May 19 primary election against Pro-Trump challenger, State Attorney General Ken Paxton.
Trump turned the tables by communicating to Senate Majority Leader John Thune that he won’t offer any endorsement in the race until the Senate passes the SAVE Act.
“President Donald Trump is delaying his endorsement in the Texas Senate GOP primary to ramp up pressure on Republican senators to pass his high-priority voting restrictions bill, according to two people close to the White House granted anonymity to speak candidly,” POLITICO reports.
The SAVE Act ensures fair elections and eliminates fraud by requiring proof of citizenship to register to vote, voter ID in all 50 states, and banning mass mail-in voting.
Trump later spoke to House Republicans and called out RINO Senators for defying the will of the people by obstructing the SAVE Act.
“We’re gonna have to PUSH the senate! You have 4 or 5 senators!” Trump declared.
“EVERY time I go out, ‘SAVE America Act, sir!’ That’s ALL they talk about!” Trump added.
Trump predicted that passing the SAVE Act would cripple Democrat election fraud schemes and guarantee Republicans win the midterm elections.
“Send it up there, and you will WIN THE MIDTERMS!” Trump escalated.
Trump said that there are “4 or 5 Republican senators, you will have to explain them to me. We won’t get into that, but we will push them to get it done.”
Trump then doubled down on his prediction of midterm election victory if the Senate passes the SAVE Act, but that Republicans were in “BIG TROUBLE” if they failed.
“I am making my biggest plea TONIGHT. It will GUARANTEE THE MIDTERMS! If you don’t get it, BIG TROUBLE,” Trump warned Republicans.
There is also the matter of how Trump’s endorsement will play.
Polls show Paxton leading Cornyn in the runoff.
If Trump endorses Paxton, Paxton wins in a rout.
But Trump endorsing the RINO Cornyn, who supports amnesty, gun control, and defended Jack Smith and Alvin Bragg prosecuting Trump, doesn’t even put Cornyn in the lead.
The conservative base is sending two messages – that the Senate should pass the SAVE Act and that President Trump should endorse Ken Paxton.
