BREAKING: Sec. Scott Bessent just demanded the Senate GOP NUKE the 60-vote filibuster for the SAVE America Act, and perfectly explained why “The prisoner’s dilemma…kill or be killed!” “Republicans need to be SMART about this!” “If you have bad actors in the prisoner’s dilemma, which the Democrats are, then you should move first.” “Joe Manchin, Kyrsten Sinema, the Democrats basically had nuked the filibuster, but they refused to go along with it. And guess where they are? They’re both sitting at home now!” “Maybe the filibuster doesn’t get withdrawn for everything, but there are things that we’ve got to do, like voter integrity, and we’ve got to keep the government open.” “I mean, look, we are on the verge of another government shutdown, and the Democrats think this is the way to hurt President Trump, but they’re willing to hurt the American people.” “We had the biggest or the longest shutdown in history. The economy still did great because all the initiatives we put forward, but I think that we have to get on with the people’s business.” “And if the Democrats shut the economy down again, it is a sign that they are bad actors, they don’t care about the American people, and we ought to move forward, not let the government shut down, have voter integrity, and many other of our signature issues!”
