VP JD Vance is calling out Republican holdout senators for protecting Democrats and obstructing the SAVE America Act by maintaining the filibuster. He stated there is a way better U.S. Senate and GOP today compared to five, ten, or twenty years ago. Vance claims some senators are committed to ridiculous parliamentary rules despite knowing Democrats do not follow them. He argues that if Republicans take over the Senate chair and overrule the parliamentarian, they would still need to sustain 50 senators plus himself to support the decision. Vance identifies the fundamental issue as the 50-vote threshold rather than the 60-vote threshold. Vance states that Senate Democrats will blow up the filibuster whenever they next take the majority. Vance concludes that the president says they must get rid of the filibuster so they do not have to worry about the parliamentarian. This discussion appeared in a split-screen interview on Newsmax's Frontline featuring VP JD Vance.
