6:13Now PlayingSenator John Thune discusses a range of major congressional issues, including ongoing negotiations before the Senate parliamentarian, Republican efforts around reconciliation, and the challenges of advancing key legislation without filibuster support.
He reflects on past votes on the SAVE America Act, voter ID requirements, and school sports policies, pointing to repeated partisan divisions in the Senate. Thune also addresses procedural hurdles, funding disputes tied to the Secret Service and appropriations, and how reconciliation is being used to move legislation forward amid gridlock.
The conversation also touches on a possible federal gas tax holiday, with Thune weighing potential benefits for consumers against concerns about impacts on the Highway Trust Fund and whether savings would actually reach Americans.
