Sen. John Cornyn of Texas has argued that the SAVE America Act, which he supports, should be prioritized over the filibuster, as the filibuster's 60-vote threshold is a crucial barrier to progress in the US Senate. In 2022, Chuck Schumer and 47 other Senate Democrats attempted to change the rules to allow a left-wing takeover of election laws, but were stopped by two holdout Democrats who were later driven out of their party and into retirement. In 2024, Schumer confirmed that Democrats plan to kill the filibuster’s 60- vote threshold next time they take control of the Senate. Cornyn argues that Democrats are weaponizing the Senate's rules to block the SAVA America Act and defund the Department of Homeland Security to spite President Donald Trump. He urges Republicans to act now to secure elections, protect our homeland, and return to common sense.
