Trump Is FINISHED With John Thune. Now He's SWEATING.
Podcasts > LARRY with Larry O'Connor
Friday, July 31, 2026
Senate Majority Leader John Thune is under fire from his own party. Larry breaks down why Thune keeps hedging on the Save America Act (voter ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements) even though the House already tucked its two biggest provisions into a budget reconciliation bill that only needs 50 votes — votes Republicans already have. He plays the moment a reporter asks Trump point-blank whether Thune is "still the man for the job," compares Thune's rambling answers to Chuck Schumer's near-identical talking points, replays John Cornyn's confused response, and breaks down Senator Mike Lee's floor speech rallying 15 GOP senators who are refusing to let the Senate recess for August until the Save America Act gets a vote.
