WASHINGTON D.C. — Donald J. Trump called on the U.S. Senate to adopt a budget resolution before its August recess, framing the move as the first step toward enacting his Save America Act. He credited Senator Ron Johnson, the Wisconsin Republican who chairs the Senate Budget Committee, with leading the push alongside GOP leadership. The measure would clear the way for legislation funding the military and aiding farmers, he said. A budget resolution can pass with a simple majority, bypassing the 60-vote filibuster threshold that stalls most Senate bills.
