"I stand with @basedmikelee," Sen. Rick Scott (R-Florida) tweets. "I will vote to stay in session unless we have passed the SAVE America Act. The American people expect us to deliver. They deserve secure elections."

Any senator affiliated with either party can write the majority leader in opposition to recess until a certain political objective, whatever that may be, is achieved. The two gentlemen arguing for no recess in this case are Republican senators. Republicans hold a majority in the Senate of the United States, so it will prove interesting to see whether this movement for not recessing the Senate gains any traction. Regardless of the political objective being used as a basis, not recessing the U.S. Senate would affect all senators.
