Senate Majority Leader John Thune's comments about the SAVE America Act, which requires voter ID, have sparked anger among conservatives. Despite Republicans controlling the Senate, 60 votes are needed for passage. Thune has been trying to lower expectations that such a "talking filibuster" could pass the bill. However, he also criticised its supporters for engaging in the "paid influencer ecosystem". The criticism of a talking filibuster could delay the Senate's agenda for days or weeks.
