Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) is throwing down the gauntlet, urging President Trump to leverage his massive political influence by withholding Senate endorsements until the upper chamber finally passes the SAVE America Act requiring voter ID for federal elections.
"POTUS should hold all Senate endorsements until they get off their 🍑 and pass voter ID," Luna fired off on X, directly calling out Senate Majority Leader John Thune. "No SHOW VOTES. TALKING FILIBUSTER @LeaderJohnThune."
The Florida conservative is absolutely right. Why should Trump waste his political capital endorsing senators who won't even fight for the most basic election integrity measure that 80% of Americans support? It's time these establishment Republicans prove they're actually willing to deliver on their promises instead of just talking a big game during election season.
Trump's Endorsement Power Could Force Action
Luna's strategy is brilliant. Trump's endorsement can make or break a Republican Senate candidate, and every senator knows it. By tying endorsements to actual legislative action on voter ID, Trump could force the Senate to stop playing games and start governing like the conservative majority Americans elected them to be.
"The American people are sick of politicians who campaign on election integrity but fold the moment they get to Washington. Luna is showing the kind of backbone we need more of in Congress."
The SAVE America Act would require proof of citizenship to vote in federal elections - something that should be common sense but has been blocked by Democrats and weak-kneed Republicans for years. Luna is demanding Thune force Democrats into an actual talking filibuster instead of allowing them to quietly kill the bill with procedural moves.
This is exactly the kind of hardball tactics conservatives have been begging Republican leadership to employ. Will Trump take Luna's advice and finally force the Senate to put up or shut up on election integrity? Patriots nationwide are watching to see if their representatives will fight as hard as they promised on the campaign trail.
