Rick Scott Urges SAVE America Act Passage as Senate Worked Only 79 Days

1 articles · Updated · Fox News · Jul 13

Summary

  • 79 days into 2026, Sen. Rick Scott said the Senate still has not passed the SAVE America Act or even agreed how to proceed on the election bill.
  • Scott tied that failure to the chamber’s schedule, saying senators work about 2.5 days a week, take fewer than 10 votes weekly, arrive late Monday and often leave Thursday.
  • The Florida Republican argued the bill’s core provisions — voter ID and limiting registration to Americans — have broad support across Republicans, Democrats and independents.
  • Scott said he will bring his policy priorities directly to the Senate floor in coming weeks, while also pressing for action on government funding, spending cuts and inflation before November.
