Published | Video Starts at 01:00

Maya Wiley from the Leadership Conference, Brian Lemick from the Defend the Vote Action Fund, Selena Stewart with the League of Women Voters, and Michael Waldman from the Brennan Center. Now, this week, Republicans have finally chosen to put the Save America act on the floor of the Senate, knowing full well [they don't have the votes]. Don't just take my word for it, listen to Senator Thune's remarks in public. They're not sure they have the votes. They don't think they have the votes, but they're going to put us through this exercise anyway. (01:00–01:10)
