Trump calls on Thune to fire Senate parliamentarian to pass SAVE America Act
Trump said MacDonough blocked $1 billion in Secret Service funding and other GOP priorities, deepening tensions with Senate Republicans.
- On Monday, President Donald Trump demanded that Senate Majority Leader John Thune immediately fire Senate Parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough, marking escalating tensions between the president and the Republican leader.
- Trump's demand follows MacDonough's recent rulings blocking $1 billion in Secret Service funding from a $72 billion budget reconciliation bill and $220 million for a White House ballroom project.
- Trump claimed MacDonough treats Republicans "horribly" and predicted the GOP-backed SAVE AMERICA ACT will fail with her in place, after she ruled it requires 60 votes to pass.
- Thune has shown little interest in complying with the demand, reflecting broader friction as he has repeatedly broken with Trump over several hot-button issues in recent weeks.
- While parliamentarians serve at the majority leader's pleasure, Trump has questioned why Senate Republicans allowed MacDonough to remain, calling her a "nasty holdover" from Senator Mitch McConnell.
