### Headline: Trump’s Obsession with Election Bills is a Distraction – Even Republicans Think So
Senator Thom Tillis is throwing some serious shade at Trump’s fixation on the SAVE America Act. In a recent CNN interview, he called out the “impossible task” of pushing this legislation right before the midterms—because why focus on winning when you can just create more noise?
Tillis questioned why the GOP is busy undermining voter confidence instead of highlighting the “rise of the Democratic Socialists of America.” You know, basic stuff that might actually resonate with voters? He urged Republicans to stick to the results they’ve achieved instead of getting sidetracked by new laws that could complicate the voting process.
Trump, on the other hand, seems to think the SAVE America Act is the Holy Grail of midterm success, even canceling a major bill signing just to push this election legislation. But here’s the kicker: many Democrats are flat-out against it, arguing it could disenfranchise millions. And let’s not forget, even some Republican leaders have said it’s unlikely to pass.
Tillis, who originally co-sponsored the SAVE America Act, isn’t sold on Trump’s latest version, especially since it also includes banning transgender athletes from women’s sports. Guess he still remembers how to pick his battles.
This isn’t the first time Tillis and Trump have butted heads. Earlier this year, Tillis blocked Trump’s pick for Fed chair until the Justice Department took a step back. He’s also slammed the Justice Department’s “Anti-Weaponization Fund” as a “payout for punks.”
In his Sunday interview, Tillis made it clear: Republicans need to stop getting sidetracked by distractions and start focusing on the real threat—what happens if Democrats take control. But sure, let’s keep talking about election bills instead of actual issues. That’ll win over the voters, right?
