Graham Death Stalls Trump’s SAVE America Act as GOP Races for 51 Senate Votes

Summary
Lindsey Graham’s death has deprived Trump’s SAVE America Act of its key Senate architect, slowing a bill that had already been stuck for months.
Graham chaired the Senate Budget Committee and was central to a plan to move parts of the election measure through budget reconciliation after enough Republicans joined Democrats to block it.
Ron Johnson is expected to take over the committee and said he is already coordinating with House Budget Chair Jodey Arrington and reviewing the House’s SAVE America proposal.
The effort still faces a Senate rules ruling, a tight July schedule, an August recess and a September government funding fight, with John Thune warning the path to 51 votes will be bumpy.
