Senate Majority Leader Thune Resists Trump Demand to Fire Parliamentarian

President Trump demanded Senate Majority Leader John Thune immediately fire Elizabeth MacDonough, the Obama-era Senate Parliamentarian, citing concerns over her influence on vote counts. Thune pushed back against the demand, refusing to act on the order despite the President's pressure to pass the SAVE America Act. This standoff highlights the ongoing friction between the White House and the Senate leadership regarding the integrity of the legislative process and election administration.
