And partly because not every bill will work like this because not every bill has this much support from the American people.

We're talking to more between 70 and 80% of Americans across party lines, depending on which poll you listen to.

Either way, it's a vast supermajority.

The only place where you can't get a super majority for it is here in Washington, D.C., then that's the problem.

But if we put the bill on the floor like they did the Civil Rights Act of 1964, they were down about 30 votes, 30 votes away from being able to achieve cloture in 64 when they did that.

And over time, what they saw

Was that the bill became more popular and those who were opposing it and trying to delay it with a filibuster became less popular.

So they started negotiating the terms of their exit ramp.

They started negotiating face saving and perfecting amendments.

And eventually they got the bill to the point where they could vote for it.

That's exactly what we need to do here with the Save America Act.

So to say that because we've only got a simple majority support, we're about 10 votes shy of cloture.

It doesn't mean the bill can't pass.

It just means there's got to be another way to do it.

I won't advocate this on every bill, but this is a rare, unique circumstance where it's important to America's future, our election security, and where the American people overwhelmingly support it.

This would work, but it does take time, and I hope we'll get there.

Look, there is one person and one person alone who can make this judgment called the way the Senate works, the way our schedule is set up.

If the Senate majority leader is willing to give this a shot, it'll work.

Whether Mitch McConnell wants him to or not, whether any one member wants him to or not, he could do it.

At this point, we're not counting on Mitch McConnell's vote anyway.
