目前，一个意外因素暂时削弱了参议院共和党人对特朗普总统首要选举优先事项的抵制。
《保障美国选民资格法案》（即《拯救美国法案》）在参议院屡遭碰壁，仅两次获得50票支持。但特朗普仍要求共和党不惜一切代价通过该法案。
然而，共和党内部并未达成一致。肯塔基州联邦参议员米奇·麦康奈尔曾多次在该法案的各项版本中投下反对票，这引发了特朗普的个人不满。

“米奇·麦康奈尔，”特朗普上个月对记者表示，“他对约翰·瑟恩非常不忠诚。你们知道，约翰·瑟恩对他来说是个非常好的人。我的意思是，他是个非常忠诚的人，而米奇·麦康奈尔几乎总是反对他，我猜是因为他很生气。可能是生我的气。”
麦康奈尔因健康问题已经缺席参议院近三周，目前参议院正处于休会期，他的返回时间仍不明确。
但如果没有他的反对，共和党就少了一个需要应对的“反对”票。

但这并未解决参议院层面的整体票数难题，该难题压低了《拯救美国法案》通过的可能性。
参议院民主党人一致反对该法案，这意味着特朗普和《拯救美国法案》的最大支持者无法打破60票的阻挠议事门槛，这在一定程度上加剧了总统废除阻挠议事规则的诉求。
参议院共和党人也没有足够票数这么做。
“唯一的途径是废除或取消立法阻挠议事程序，但美国参议院中支持这一举措的票数远远不够，”参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·瑟恩上个月表示。
还有一种是对话式阻挠议事，犹他州共和党参议员迈克·李已经推动了数月，但共和党人尚未采用这一方式，主要担忧是会占用议事时间，且分裂的党内团结可能导致民主党胜出。
此外还有预算和解程序，特朗普曾敦促国会考虑这一途径。虽然参议院共和党人并未急于推进这一方案，但众议院正全速推进。

众议院议长、路易斯安那州共和党人迈克·约翰逊告诉福克斯新闻的香农·布里姆，他将推进和解计划。
“我们已经在众议院三次通过了该法案。我们将再尝试一次，将其作为预算和解法案，我认为这将是在参议院通过该法案的途径，并最终提交到总统办公桌。”
但值得注意的是，众议院共和党人并未通过特朗普所期望的《拯救美国法案》版本，该版本将严格限制邮寄投票、禁止跨性别运动员参加女子体育赛事，并禁止为未成年人提供变性手术。
即便该法案最坚定的支持者也认为，和解途径希望渺茫。

李上个月告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，《拯救美国法案》“属于政策范畴，不属于预算相关事务。因此，《拯救美国法案》本身不符合第三次和解程序的审议条件。”
或许可以做出调整，比如在和解法案中向各州提供联邦资金，用于发放带有公民身份验证的强化真实身份证，同时单独通过选民身份证法案。
但李认为，“没有证据表明第三次和解法案存在可行路径”。
“我希望有。我很乐意在这方面被证明是错的。我希望我们能这么做。我认为我们应该这么做。但令我非常失望的是，我们现有的议事日程——无法——容纳任何相关举措。”

Trump’s voter ID bill catches unlikely break as McConnell remains sidelined
Thune still rules out filibuster elimination as Senate Democrats block Trump’s SAVE America Act

An unlikely reason has chipped away, for now, at Senate Republican resistance against President Donald Trump’s flagship election priority.
The Safeguarding American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) America Act has hit brick wall after brick wall in the Senate, and has only twice mustered 50 votes. Still, Trump wants Republicans to pass it by any means necessary.
Republicans, however, aren’t unified behind it. One lawmaker, Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., has routinely voted against the bill in its variety of iterations, earning the personal ire of Trump.

“Mitch McConnell,” Trump told reporters last month. “He’s very disloyal to John Thune. You know, John Thune was a very good person for him. I mean, he’s a very loyal person, and Mitch McConnell’s against him almost all the time because he’s angry, I guess. Probably at me.”
McConnell has been absent from the Senate, which is currently in recess, for almost three weeks due to health issues. When he will return still remains unclear.
But without his resistance, that’s one less “no” vote that Republicans have to contend with.

Still, it doesn’t address the broader math problem in the Senate weighing down the chances of the SAVE America Act passing.
Senate Democrats are unified against it, meaning Trump and the SAVE America Act’s biggest proponents can’t break through the 60-vote filibuster, which has, in part, fueled the president’s demands to nuke the filibuster.
Senate Republicans don’t have the votes to do that, either.
“The only way you could get there is to undo or get rid of the legislative filibuster, and there aren’t even close to the votes here in the United States Senate in order to achieve that,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said last month.
There is the talking filibuster, which Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, has pushed for months, which Republicans have yet to turn to, largely over concerns of floor time being eaten away and fractured unity leading to Democratic wins.
Then there is the budget reconciliation route, which Trump has pushed Congress to consider. While Senate Republicans aren’t leaping at the prospect, the House is moving full steam ahead.

House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told Fox News’ Shannon Bream that he would move ahead with the reconciliation plan.
“We passed it three times in the House. We’re going to try one more time on a budget reconciliation bill, and I think that will be the way to get it through the Senate, and finally, to the president’s desk.”
Notably, though, House Republicans have not passed the version of the SAVE America Act that Trump desires, which would include a strict crackdown on mail-in balloting, a ban on transgender athletes in women’s sports and a ban on transgender surgical procedures for minors.
But even the bill’s biggest backers see reconciliation as a far-fetched option.

Lee last month told Fox News Digital that the SAVE America Act was “policy, it’s non-budgetary. Therefore, SAVE America itself is not eligible for consideration in a third reconciliation.”
There could be alterations, like giving states federal funding to start doling out enhanced REAL IDs with citizenship verification in a reconciliation package, while separately passing a voter ID bill.
However, Lee believed that there was “no evidence that there is a viable path to a third reconciliation bill.”
“I hope there is. I would love to be wrong on that. I want us to do that. I think we should do that. But the schedule that we’ve got, to my great disappointment, is not — it doesn’t accommodate any of it.”
