## Key points

- Trump wants Senate Republicans to abolish the filibuster.
- His priority is passing a voting bill without Democratic support.
- Republican senators remain divided and lack the votes.

## Summary

President Trump renewed his call for Republican senators to abolish the legislative filibuster, arguing they should act “before it is too late”. The move would lower the barrier for passing much of his agenda without Democratic support, but it also heightens a long-running dispute within the Senate Republican conference over changing its rules.

Trump’s immediate focus is the SAVE America Act, a voting bill that would require proof of citizenship for voter registration and identification at the polls, alongside other Republican priorities. The filibuster effectively requires 60 votes to advance most Senate legislation, while Republicans hold a 53–47 majority; Senate Majority Leader John Thune and other Republicans have said there are not enough votes to remove it. Supporters say ending the rule would prevent Democratic obstruction, while opponents warn it could allow future Democratic majorities to pass legislation more easily.
