Cornyn Now Claims He Will Support SAVE ACT - Paxton Pressure Working!!

The Safeguard American Voter Eligibility Act, commonly referred to as the SAVE Act, has cleared a significant hurdle in the Senate after two Republican senators who had not yet endorsed a provision to bypass the “zombie” filibuster reversed course.

Paxton welcomed the development in a social media post of his own, though he expressed doubt over his opponent’s sincerity. “I made Cornyn more conservative in the last 3 days than he’s been in the last 24 years,” the attorney general posted on X.

“Yet, flip-flop Cornyn’s still too cowardly to support abolishing the filibuster to get it done and to call out his best friend McConnell for opposing the bill. The president deserves better,” he added.

In addition to support from Cornyn, Senator Katie Britt (R-AL) indicated that she will also support a maneuver to quash the “zombie” filibuster after reports to the contrary. “This is blatantly false. I have been working with [Senator Mike Lee] to find the votes and path forward to pass the SAVE America Act, which includes the talking filibuster,” Britt wrote in an X post of her own.

The two senators affirming their support represents a significant development in the battle to pass the key piece of legislation, though its final passage still faces several hurdles. Outgoing Senator Thom Tillis (R-NC) has previously threatened to resign if the talking filibuster were deployed, while Senator Susan Collins (R-ME) has expressed support for the bill but stopped short of supporting a talking filibuster maneuver.
