Even JD Vance is sick and tired of John Thune's excuses when it comes to passing the SAVE Act. The excuse of not having enough votes to pass it is getting old ... especially when we all know there is much more Thune could do to get it done.
So why isn't he?
What's the hold up?
Vance said it far better:
BREAKING: VP Vance just SHOT DOWN the defeatism coming from Leader Thune on the SAVE America Act:
— Andrew Kolvet (@AndrewKolvet) June 18, 2026
Reporter: "Leader Thune says it's unrealistic to get the SAVE America Act passed, do you believe this is possible?"
Vance: "Why don‘t we try? At least force people to vote against… pic.twitter.com/GN0rnSw4It
Post continues:
... let people go on the record and actually answer to the American people."
Make the Republicans hiding behind Thune own their no vote, make them argue it, make them explain why they refuse to support and pass a bill their constituents have begged them to pass.
@VP is predident of the senate. The majority leader answers to him. He wants it passed? He needs to kick @LeaderJohnThune to the back of the bus and take over the senate leadership until it gets done.

Maybe this is the first 'gentle' nudge to get it done?
Exactly! Get them on record!

Exactly. MAKE THEM OWN THEIR VOTE.

A leader with a defeatist mentality should not be a leader!

Resign @LeaderJohnThune
You’re a disgrace!
EXACTLY.
He shouldn't be whining about not having the votes, he should be working to get those votes. And if he can't get them, he needs to make them go on the record.
As Vance said, why not at least TRY?!
