华盛顿电 — 参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩周二明确表示，名为《拯救美国法案》的选举法案通过的可能性微乎其微，他再次表达了对该法案前景的怀疑，此前总统特朗普威胁称，除非国会通过该法案，否则将对其实施立法阻挠。
“这事儿没有简单的解决办法，”图恩周二对记者表示，“相信我，我们已经研究了所有可能的选项。”
该法案上月在众议院获得通过，要求选民登记时提供公民身份证明，并在投票时出示带照片的身份证件。但特朗普总统要求该法案进一步禁止所有邮寄选票，还推动加入对跨性别运动员参与女子体育赛事的限制，以及对未成年人性别确认手术的限制。
周日，总统在Truth Social平台发文称，在《拯救美国法案》通过之前，他不会签署其他法案，称该法案“优先于其他所有事务”且“必须立即完成”。白宫澄清，国土安全部资金的拨付将是例外情况，该部门目前仍处于停摆状态。
民主党人普遍反对《拯救美国法案》，警告称其公民身份证明要求可能剥夺数百万符合条件选民的投票权。由于参议院有53名共和党人支持，要在正常程序下推进该法案并达到60票的通过门槛，需要跨党派支持。
相反，参议院共和党领袖数周来一直面临来自党内右翼的压力，要求通过所谓的“程序性阻挠议事”（talking filibuster）推动法案前进。这种策略可以绕过60票的限制，但会使参议院陷入数周的停滞，并且需要共和党核心会议近乎一致的支持。
南达科他州共和党人图恩周一向记者概述，根据以往的努力，他认为这种策略“很难”导致法案通过。
“你必须得到统一支持，不仅是对最终目标——即《拯救美国法案》的支持，还要在程序上能够击败那些一开始就试图推翻该法案的修正案，”图恩表示，“历史上我们从未见过这样通过的法案。”
周二上午，图恩对记者表示，自周末提出要求以来，他尚未与总统交谈，并且明确表示参议院共和党人缺乏必要的票数。
“首先，没有足够的票数来‘废除’阻挠议事规则（nuking the filibuster），也没有足够的票数来进行‘程序性阻挠’，”图恩说，“这就是现实。而我有时不得不传达这样一个不太好的消息：票数不达标。但这些都是事实，无法回避。”
与此同时，一些共和党人提出通过预算协调程序推进该法案，该程序允许执政党在法案条款具有直接预算影响的情况下，以51票的门槛获得通过。
图恩表示，这种方法也“非常、非常困难”。
“我们试图看看是否有办法能巧妙地利用预算协调程序，但最终还是回到了原点，”图恩说。
最终，图恩表示“我们希望达成结果，希望得到最终的法案文本”，并指出“在政策层面几乎存在一致意见”。
“但过程和如何实现这一目标，你知道，不会包括废除阻挠议事规则，”图恩强调，“这是不会发生的。”

Thune stands firm on SAVE America Act as Trump threatens legislative blockade
March 10, 2026 / 1:29 PM EDT / CBS News
Washington — Senate Majority Leader John Thune made clear Tuesday that an elections bill known as the SAVE America Act faces an unlikely path to passage, reiterating his skepticism about the bill’s chances as President Trump threatens a legislative blockade until Congress approves the measure.
“There are no easy ways to do this,” Thune told reporters Tuesday. “Believe me, we’ve examined all the options.”
The legislation, which the House passed last month, would require proof of citizenship to register to vote, along with photo ID to cast a ballot. But Mr. Trump has demanded that the legislation go farther and ban all mail-in ballots. He has also pushed to include restrictions on transgender athletes participating in women’s sports and on gender-affirming surgeries for minors.
On Sunday, the president said in a post on Truth Social that he would not sign other legislation until the SAVE America Act is passed, saying it “supersedes everything else” and “must be done immediately.” The White House clarified that he would make an exception for funding the Department of Homeland Security, which remains shut down.
Democrats widely oppose the SAVE America Act, warning that its proof of citizenship requirements could disenfranchise millions of eligible voters. And with 53 Republicans in the Senate, support from across the aisle would be needed to reach the 60-vote threshold to advance the legislation under the normal process.
Senate Republican leaders have instead faced pressure for weeks from the right flank of the GOP to move the bill forward through what’s known as a talking filibuster. The maneuver would sidestep the need for 60 votes, but it would gum up the Senate floor for weeks and require near-unanimous support from the GOP conference.
Thune, a South Dakota Republican, outlined to reporters on Monday that based on previous efforts, he finds it “very hard to see” the maneuver resulting in passage of the bill.

“You have to have unified support, not only in support of the ultimate goal, which is the SAVE America Act, but on the process to be able to defeat amendments that would undo the legislation in the first place,” Thune said. “We can’t find a piece of legislation in history that’s been passed that way.”

The president doubled down on his demands later Monday, stressing the importance of passing the legislation during a news conference.
“We’re going for the gold, and we’re going to have to fight like hell,” Mr. Trump said. “We don’t have a country if we’re going to have elections that are so corrupt and so dishonest, like we’ve witnessed over the last period of time.”
Thune told reporters Tuesday morning that he hasn’t talked to the president since he made the demands over the weekend. And he made clear that Senate Republicans don’t have the votes.
“The votes aren’t there, one, to nuke the filibuster, and the votes aren’t there for a talking filibuster,” Thune said. “It’s just a reality. And I’m a person who has to deliver, sometimes, the not-so-good news that the math doesn’t add up. But those are the facts. There’s no getting around it.”
Meanwhile, some Republicans have floated moving the legislation through the budget reconciliation process, which allows the party in power to approve a measure at a 51-vote threshold if its provisions have direct budgetary consequences.
Thune said the approach would also be “very, very difficult.”
“We have tried to see if there’s a way we could thread the needle and use reconciliation, and it’s just, you kind of come back to the same place,” Thune said.
Ultimately, Thune said “we want to get the outcome, we want to get the result.” And he noted that “there’s almost unanimous agreement on the policy.”
“But the process and how to get there, you know, are not going to include nuking the filibuster,” Thune said. “That’s just not going to happen.”
