Rep. Roger Williams says House wants Save America Act to pass, voices support for president on filibuster
Summary
In an interview, Texas Rep. Roger Williams urged the Senate to act on the Save America Act after an amendment failed to reach 50 votes and said he "stands with the president" on changing filibuster rules to advance legislation.
Rep. Roger Williams, introduced in the program as a Texas congressman, said he hopes the Save America Act will not be "dead" after a related amendment failed to win 50 votes in the Senate.
Williams told the host the House passed what it believes to be "good legislation" and is awaiting whatever version the Senate sends back. "We passed some good legislation. We sent it to them, so let's see what they do with it," he said.
Asked whether the Senate filibuster should be eliminated, Williams responded: "Well, I stand with the president." He added that while he understands Senate traditions, "this is real time now when things are different," and said he wants to use leadership to get legislation passed.
The segment framed these remarks as an interview exchange; no formal floor action, vote tally or bill text was presented during the segment. The program did not specify any next procedural steps or dates for further reconciliation between the chambers.
The interview closed without additional legislative outcomes; Williams' comments reflect his view on process and timing rather than a recorded House or Senate action.
