Senators are sticking around Washington this weekend after a busy week on the Hill highlighted partisan divides, intraparty friction and growing tension between the two chambers. One thing is clear — everyone is ready for spring break.
The Senate has largely been wrapped up in an extended debate on the GOP’s marquee voter ID legislation, dubbed the SAVE America Act. Debate on the bill began Tuesday and is anticipated to extend through the weekend, at least.
“We’re in through this weekend,” Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., said on Fox News on Friday morning. “There will be a vote on this bill. We will find out where everybody stands.”
