During a Saturday press conference, the Republican Senate leadership laid out the day's agenda on passing the SAVE America Act in the upper chamber. But there was more to it than just one vote on America's election integrity.

Leader John Thune (R-SD) opened the presser by stating the U.S. Senate is "in the middle of a lengthy and spirited debate" on the legislation, calling it "common sense" and "overwhelmingly supported by the American people."

"You probably heard some falsehoods coming out of the Democrats throughout the course of the week," Thune continued. "Probably paramount among those was when [Minority] Leader Schumer answered a question, and said, "Well, we're not really opposed to photo ID." He added that that was quickly debunked when the Senate voted on a proposal sponsored by Sen. Jon Husted (R-OH), which was "limited" to the photo ID issue.

"The Democrats not only blocked it," he said, "but their counterproposal was a piece of legislation...that would specifically ban photo ID nationwide." Thune said they were not serious, and on the "wrong side" here. The poll numbers bear out that point, literally an 80-20 issue:
