Thune rules out ditching the sixty-vote filibuster threshold. Trump threatens to veto other bills until the bill is passed. Senate Democrats promise a full blockade, claiming it could sideline too many voters. Republicans are split on next steps, with some conservatives eyeing a talking filibuster. Thune cautions that could drag on for weeks and spark total gridlock. Polls show most Americans back voter ID and citizenship checks. GOP senators plan a conference huddle to hash out paths forward amid Trumps ongoing demands.
