The Save America Act—FINALLY on the Floor of the Senate

Published | Video Starts at 29:50

I have been making the case as impassioned as I can to my colleagues, and we are likely just short of 50. So if that doesn't change, what's going to end up happening this week is We're going to vote again on the Save America Act. Fifty or 51 Republicans will vote for it, but we'll need 60. unless we force them to do a talking filibuster. So it will fail this week unless something changes significantly. That's infuriating. And so I'm calling on my colleagues, come on, let's stand together and fight. (29:50–29:59)
