On Wednesday, President Donald Trump will meet with Senate Republicans in an attempt to press their support for his floundering legislative agenda. According to Punchbowl News,<\/u> the meeting comes as Trump is at \u201chis weakest point yet,\u201d dragged down by controversy surrounding the war with Iran, his failed policy endeavors, his historically low polling, and infighting within his own party. <\/p>\n

As Punchbowl explains, it\u2019s not surprising that the temperamental president is angry at Senate Republicans as \u201cthey\u2019re openly dismissing Trump\u2019s legislative demands, expressing rare public anger over the Iran MOU, bucking his repeated calls to get rid of the filibuster and furious about his abrupt halting of the confirmation process for Jay Clayton, the nominee to be director of national intelligence.\u201d Many also \u201csee Trump\u2019s fixation on the SAVE America Act as a strategic misstep that could cost them their majority by turning the MAGA base against GOP candidates and incumbents.\u201d<\/p>\n

At the same time, says Punchbowl, \u201cTrump\u2019s Senate allies… riled up the MAGA base online, prompting an onslaught against Senate Majority Leader John Thune (R-SD) in particular. Trump is slated to attend Wednesday\u2019s Senate GOP Steering lunch, which is run by Sen. Rick Scott (R-FL), a staunch Trump ally and one of the chief proponents of the SAVE America Act. Scott inviting Trump during this row with Thune is seen within the GOP Conference as a slight toward the South Dakota Republican.\u201d <\/p>\n

All of this is an effort to cajole support for SAVE, but Trump is likely to face his own slights from \u201cfree agent\u201d GOP Senators who have been beaten by primary candidates endorsed by the president, placing them in a \u201cnothing to lose\u201d scenario where they can vote as they please without consequences. <\/p>\n

This stalemate threatens not only Trump\u2019s voter ID law, but the FISA Section 702 extension it has become linked to. For Democrats, attaching passage of the SAVE Act makes a FISA extension \u201ca non-starter,\u201d and Senate Republicans know it. According to Punchbowl, \u201cSen. John Cornyn (R-TX), who lost his primary to a Trump-backed challenger, lamented that Trump was \u2018tying all of these together and then also saying, \u201cYou\u2019ve got to pass the SAVE America Act,\u201d which we know we don\u2019t have the votes for.\u2019 As a result, the ongoing lapse in 702 authority could last well into July.\u201d<\/p>\n

For many Senate Republicans, hesitancy to push for the SAVE Act comes down to simple numbers. They know they have the votes to pass a FISA extension if it’s tied to SAVE, and they consider the former to be absolutely vital to national security. They therefore don\u2019t want to imperil FISA by attaching it to legislation that will doom it automatically. But according to Punchbowl, \u201cother Republicans worry Trump will use Republicans\u2019 failure to pass the SAVE America Act to deflect blame if the GOP suffers big losses in the midterms or use it as a pretext to call the elections \u2018rigged.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
