Republican lawmakers are increasingly fed up with President Donald Trump’s insistence on pushing for a doomed voting reform bill, with some telling MS NOW that he should drop the idea because the math behind it just “don’t work.”<\/p>\n

The SAVE America Act has emerged as one of Trump’s biggest legislative goals in the last year, verging on an obsession. If signed into law, it would require Americans to produce documents proving their citizenship status, like a birth certificate or passport, when registering to vote, among other provisions, like a rollback of mail-in voting. The bill was drafted largely as a response to Trump’s long-debunked claims about non-citizens committing widespread voter fraud.<\/p>\n

Despite passing in the House multiple times, the SAVE Act has stalled out in the face of the Senate’s 60-vote filibuster threshold, with across-the-board opposition from Democrats sinking any hope of it prevailing. GOP leaders in the chamber have repeatedly told the president that the votes for the bill just do not exist, and they are also unwilling to nuke the filibuster as it currently is to get around the problem, putting them in a heated stalemate with Trump.<\/p>\n

Now, in an MS NOW report from Monday morning, some Republicans are venting about how fed up they are becoming with the ordeal, including noted Trump critics, Rep. Don Bacon of Nebraska.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe wants to go it alone, his way to the highway, and it don\u2019t work,\u201d Bacon told the outlet. \u201cHe\u2019s trying to pound the square peg through the circle, and it doesn\u2019t work.\u201d<\/p>\n

Another Republican spoke to MS NOW anonymously and said that Trump “just can\u2019t change the reality of the Senate,” no matter how much he tries.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Senate does not have the votes to pass it, and no matter how much everybody wants to push on it, it\u2019s not gonna move through the Senate unless through reconciliation,\u201d the source said. \u201cAnd that\u2019s just a reality.\u201d<\/p>\n

A second anonymous Republican was considerably more blunt about the matter.<\/p>\n

\u201cRepublicans \u2014 those of us who can do math \u2014 would like the president and other members to recognize that there isn\u2019t a path forward,” they said.<\/p>\n

A third anonymous Republican, this time from the House, lamented their inability to pursue bills that might get bipartisan support ahead of the midterms due to Trump’s obsessions.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s things that we should be able to do,\u201d the GOP lawmaker said, \u201cBut we\u2019re so focused on legislation that will never get a Democratic vote and won\u2019t make it through the reconciliation that it\u2019s stopping all progress.\u201d<\/p>\n
