Tomorrow, President Donald Trump will be at the Capitol speaking with senators about the SAVE America Act. When asked about the meeting’s priorities, Senate Majority Leader John Thune told the press he has others. Amid major disagreements within the Senate GOP, Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., invited the president to attend the Senate Steering Committee lunch on Wednesday, which he chairs. Trump plans to speak with the majority party about the importance of passing the act. On Monday, Scott sent a letter to colleagues listing the party’s priorities and urging members to be vocal about what they think can be done to pass the SAVE America Act. When asked to respond to the letter, Thune didn’t mention the election integrity bill and instead said senators should “first and foremost” focus on the $1.5 trillion defense authorization bill.

Trump, however, made his agenda for Wednesday clear. “We’re just going to talk about SAVE America,” he told Elizabeth Mitchell, the Daily Signal’s White House correspondent.

We have to pass it. So were gonna have a talk about that and many other things,” Trump continued. Thune, again not mentioning the president’s priority, said, “We’ve got a list. It’s all going to depend largely on what comes together in the next few weeks, but I can assure you we’re going to be active and busy and trying to create that record of accomplishment.”
