Despite Trump push for voter ID law, Senate Republicans say votes aren’t there to change filibuster rules

The effort would require broad GOP support to change long-standing procedures, which is not currently evident. The stalemate leaves the chamber unable to advance major voting reform without bipartisan backing.
