Senior Republican senators vented their frustrations at the White House on Thursday after Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt called on the Senate to "do its job" at her second press briefing since returning from maternity leave. "He's not responsible for the SAVE Act not passing. "Mike Johnson and Congress have done a great job, but we're having a hard time in the Senate," the president added. It's unclear how far Trump will take his war of words with Senate leadership if Thune, as expected, allows Trump's arbitrary deadline of the August recess next week pass without significant progress on the voter ID bill. There are few other pieces of legislation the president could theoretically hold hostage until his desired voter ID bill makes it to his desk.
