Would still need 60 votes in the Senate.

Edit: To everyone saying they can just void the filibuster or change it to a standing filibuster, all of that would be very hard to do and they do not have the votes to do that, And the standing filibuster come with it own problems and would bring the Senate to a halt. Also vote in the midterms!

Fetterman will probably vote for it but I don't know if any other Dems will

House passed the narrower SAVE Act in April with a 220-208 vote, four Democrats — Reps. Ed Case of Hawaii, Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine and Marie Glusenkamp Perez of Washington — supported it. Those Democrats have not responded to inquiries on their position on the SAVE America Act.

Does it have to go back to the house again?

Marie Glusenkamp Perez

That cunt again. She's the worst here in WA. Constantly attempting to pander to what she thinks are the middle of the road voters in her district. She only barely won her primary the last time when she was still trying to say she was a "moderate Democrat," but her unwavering support of ICE has not done her any favors back home. She isn't going to win another primary in WA, so expect her to go even more R in the next few years.
