Senator Ron Johnson recently appeared on a popular news program to discuss the SAVE America Act, a piece of legislation that has been stalled in the Senate due to opposition from Democratic lawmakers.
The senator emphasized the importance of eliminating the filibuster in order to pass the SAVE Act, citing concerns that Democrats would end the filibuster if they regain power and use it to impose one-party rule.
Johnson expressed worry that his supporters are becoming dispirited due to the lack of progress on the SAVE Act, attributing the delay to Democratic opposition to election integrity measures.
The senator has been vocal about his support for ending the filibuster, arguing that Democrats will do so as soon as they regain the power to do it, and that Republicans should take a public vote on a rule change to end the filibuster.
Johnson pointed out that many Republican senators are hesitant to vote to end the filibuster, even if they want to do so, because their supporters want them to pass the SAVE Act.
The senator believes that Republicans would vote to end the filibuster if they knew it would benefit the SAVE Act, but that they are reluctant because they want to retain the filibuster as a means to block Democratic legislation when they are in power.
Johnson warned that if Democrats gain control of the executive and legislative branches of government, they will eliminate the filibuster and turn the country into a one-party nation.
The senator argued that Republicans should end the filibuster now to benefit the SAVE Act and prevent Democrats from imposing their agenda on the country.
