Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) revealed that the SAVE America Act had 50 sponsors, adding that there were “enough votes to pass a motion to proceed” with the bill, which the House of Representatives passed.
“We’ve got 49 Senate sponsors of the SAVE America Act and at least one more—Senator Collins—who supports it, and that takes us to 50!” Lee wrote in a post on X. “We now have enough votes to pass a motion to proceed to the House-passed bill—even without any additional votes—with @VP breaking the tie.”
In another post on X, Lee admitted that while “there are no guarantees,” the “only shot” is to use the Talking Filibuster.
“I’m getting a lot of questions, ‘What’s next?’ now that we’ve got enough votes to get past a motion to proceed to the House-passed version of the SAVE America Act,” Lee said in a video. “We’ve got to put all of our efforts, i.e., encourage everyone who will listen to you. The Senate needs to invoke the Talking Filibuster, to enforce the Talking Filibuster.”
Lee added that “if Senators want to debate this, if they want to Filibuster it, make them work for it.”
