Thune to face censure vote from SD GOP over SAVE America Act
Grassroots conservative activist Scott Presler, who was in attendance for the vote, shared footage of the committee vote.
The South Dakota Republican Party's Resolutions Committee approved a censure resolution against Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who represents the state.
Grassroots conservative activist Scott Presler, who was in attendance for the vote, shared footage of the committee vote. Their decision sends the resolution to the state party.
The resolution condemns Thune's failure to pass the SAVE America Act, a marquis voter ID bill that has languished in the upper chamber, despite pressure from President Donald Trump and Republican lawmakers. Thune has resisted changes to Senate rules to pass the bill without the 60 votes needed to clear the filibuster.
Thune faces reelection in 2028. The vote follows Presler claiming to have been barred from a paid dinner organized by the South Dakota Republican Party.
Just the News has sought comment from Thune's office.
