Senate Republicans hold a 53-47 majority but have shown limited appetite for invoking the nuclear option to eliminate the legislative filibuster’s 60-vote threshold. President Trump has repeatedly pressed Majority Leader John Thune to scrap the rule or cancel recesses to advance the SAVE America Act requiring proof of citizenship for voter registration, yet Thune has stated that the votes do not exist within the conference. Several senators, including John Curtis, have publicly committed to preserving the filibuster for its protection of minority rights and future leverage, while others remain open only for targeted carve-outs. Republicans have applied the nuclear option to nomination procedures in 2025, but the full legislative change stays blocked. The November 2026 midterms could alter the Senate balance and incentives before any deadline.
