Rep. Byron Donalds calls U.S. Senate 'lazy' over SAVE America Act

Republican Representative Byron Donalds, a candidate for Florida governor, appeared on Fox Business Network’s “Mornings with Maria” and attacked the U.S. Senate for failing to act on the SAVE America Act. He described the Senate as “lazy,” saying, “Ideas go over there, and they languish, and they sit.”

Donalds blamed Democratic opposition for the stalemate, arguing that voter‑ID legislation would have passed months ago if Democrats cared about election security. He said the filibuster hampers compromise and urged an end to it, adding that the Senate’s inaction forces the House to pick up unfinished business.

The remarks highlight ongoing partisan disputes over election‑identification reforms and the broader debate about Senate procedural rules.
