Senators head for the exits without meeting Trump's demands for voting bill
Senators ended a standoff without passing President Donald Trump's demanded voting bill; instead, Republican senators spoke of approving elements as part of a broader GOP budget package to fund the Iran war and replenish the Pentagon. While Trump continued pressuring for the SAVE America Act and changes to filibuster rules, Senate Majority Leader John Thune successfully passed other priorities, including confirming an attorney general and passing a sanctions package against Russia.
