Trump on El-Sayed’s win in Michigan: ‘Great news for the Republican Party’

Trump says Democrats could expand the Senate and Supreme Court unless Republicans end the filibuster and pass his SAVE America Act, which cleared the House 218-213.

  • On Thursday, President Donald Trump used Abdul El-Sayed's Michigan Democratic primary win to pressure Senate Republicans to scrap the filibuster and pass his stalled voting bill.
  • Trump's push for the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, which would require proof of citizenship to vote, prompted his pressure campaign after claiming the bill would "guarantee the midterms."
  • Researchers estimate the proof-of-citizenship rule could affect more than 20 million eligible citizens, while about 69 million married women might face registration hurdles due to name discrepancies on birth certificates.
  • Majority Leader John Thune ruled out ending the filibuster, noting Republicans hold 53 Senate seats, short of the 60 required to advance most legislation without a budget workaround.
  • As El-Sayed prepares to face Representative Mike Rogers in November, Trump revived warnings he could be the final Republican president if Democrats retain power and expand the Supreme Court to 23 justices.
