Trump warns he'll be 'last Republican president' if Senate GOP doesn't make major change

President Donald Trump has changed his pitch to wary Republicans who are hesitant to undo a decades-old safeguard in the Senate: if they do nothing, he may be the last Republican president.

Trump has long demanded that Republicans nuke the filibuster, which has blocked key parts of his agenda, to pass the SAVE America Act.

He has warned that Democrats would eliminate the firewall themselves if they regain power, allowing them to push through their most partisan priorities.

Now, he’s warning that if Republicans don’t pull the trigger, Washington, D.C., and Puerto Rico will become states and elect only Democrats to Congress, likely foiling the chances of a future Republican president to win the White House.

DEM INSURGENT TURNS ON THE CHARM WITH PARTY ESTABLISHMENT AS SCHUMER LEAVES BITTER FEUD HANGING "If Senate Republicans don't TERMINATE THE FILIBUSTER, the Dumocrats will, and I will be, despite how well our Party is doing, the last Republican President," Trump said on Truth Social.

"The Dumocrats will vote in Puerto Rico (4% Republican Vote), and Washington, D.C. (3% Republican Vote), pick up 4 Senators, 8 Congressmen/women, tremendous numbers of Popular and Electoral College Votes and, importantly, control the Voting Mechanisms and Systems, both Legal and otherwise, throughout the United States," he continued.

"It will be impossible for Republicans to ever win an Election again.

In other words, it will be THE END OF AMERICA! Thank you for your attention to this matter." REPUBLICAN SOUNDS ALARM ON RISING DEM STAR: 'THIS GUY’S GOING TO BE A PROBLEM' Voters in Washington, D.C., which carries three electoral votes, can vote in both presidential primaries and in the general election thanks to the 23rd Amendment.

Those contests tend to heavily skew in favor of Democratic candidates.

Voters in Puerto Rico can also participate in presidential primaries, but not federal elections.

And given that neither is a state, they don’t have true representation in Congress — Puerto Rico and Washington have non-voting delegates in the House, and the district has a shadow senator in the upper chamber.

Democrats have shown a desire to make both states, pushing legislation in 2023 to do so.

Meanwhile, the Senate filibuster is the 60-vote threshold that applies to most bills in the upper chamber, and given the nature of the thin majorities that either party has commanded in recent years, that means legislation typically has to be bipartisan to advance.

TRUMP DEMANDS THUNE KEEP SENATE IN SESSION UNTIL SAVE AMERICA ACT PASSES Because of that, some of Trump’s agenda has been stonewalled.
