GOP Eyes Vote to End Filibuster as Elections Bill Moves Forward

Sen. Ron Johnson floated holding a cloture vote to end the 60-vote filibuster to pressure Democrats as the Senate gears up to consider the House-passed SAVE America Act. Republicans plan to advance the elections measure with 51 votes, but final passage would still require 60 votes, making it unlikely given anticipated Democratic opposition. The move highlights ongoing GOP strategy around reforming or bypassing the filibuster amid broader election-law and policy battles in the chamber.
