The resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. government.Senate Republicans hold a 53-seat majority but face persistent 60-vote cloture requirements on most legislation, prompting repeated calls from President Trump to invoke the nuclear option and eliminate the legislative filibuster for priorities such as the SAVE America Act. Majority Leader John Thune has resisted full elimination, citing long-term risks to the minority party's leverage and noting that prior nuclear option uses have been limited to nomination confirmations, including recent precedent changes allowing grouped votes on executive branch and ambassador nominees.
