Bernie Moreno: There Are Three or Four Republicans that Won’t Vote for SAVE Act

EXCERPT:

MORENO: "Yeah, we’re doing that. Unfortunately, although he is the majority leader, he doesn’t have control over the entire conference. He can’t fire. He didn’t hire these people. Unfortunately, Laura, I’m just going to be blunt. There is three or four Republicans that just won’t be part of the team and they row in their own different direction. Unfortunately, Leader Thune has very little leverage over them. Now, we are working through it. Today we had a very spirited conversation at lunch and I think we are getting closer to having people realize how important it is for us to deliver on a fundamental promise, which is to secure our elections for the future. So I think we’re going to get there, I think we are getting there. And I can tell you Senator Thune is open to that dialogue. He personally calls some of these senators. But it’s very, very difficult when you don’t have a lot of leverage."
