Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, has reversed his support for the Senate filibuster to pass the SAVE America Act, a sweeping election overhaul bill that President Donald Trump has prioritized. Cornyn is currently in a Republican primary runoff for his Senate seat and is seeking President Trump's endorsement. His comments were published in the New York Post. Despite his opponent, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, calling for the abolition of the filibuster, Cornyn has supported the bill. Despite this, Senate Majority Leader John Thune has stated that there are not enough votes in the Senate to undo the filibuster or pass the bill, and that Democrats will vote it down. The Iran war has also contributed to high energy prices and increased oil prices, leading to a potential unintended consequence for Russia's finances.
