Summary

Passing the SAVE America Act remains the President’s top legislative priority. But with Democrats largely opposed to the voter requirements bill, pressure is mounting on Senate Republicans to alter filibuster rules to secure its passage. Senate leadership, however, has warned that such a high-risk gamble may backfire on the party in the future. FOX News Chief Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram joins the Rundown to unpack the opposition to the SAVE Act and the debate over reforming the filibuster. He also breaks down the recent developments in the Epstein investigation and the ongoing partial shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security. Later, former Vice President and founder of Advancing American Freedom, Mike Pence, joins to discuss his support for Operation Epic Fury and to address concerns raised by both Democrats and some members of the MAGA movement regarding the conflict.
