\n

Did you know the US Senate has only been in session 79 days (about 40% of the time) so far this year? And so far, we haven\u2019t passed anything to secure our elections, reduce inflation, cut spending, or prevent another Democrat shutdown<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Well, what isn\u2019t shocking is the fact nothing has gotten done while we only work 2.5 days out of the week. It is crazy. At the slow rate we are getting stuff done, we should be working 7 days.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s just take a status update: The Senate has yet<\/a> to deliver on several of our key promises to the American people this year, including securing our elections through the SAVE America Act.<\/p>\n

TRUMP HOLDS WASHINGTON HOSTAGE OVER SAVE ACT AS MIDTERM CLOCK TICKS ON GOP CONTROL<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

As I noted in a recent letter to my Senate colleagues<\/a>. Republicans, Democrats, and Independents overwhelmingly want voter ID for elections and only Americans to be able to register for elections, the main components of the SAVE America Act.<\/p>\n

Yet the Senate still hasn\u2019t passed it \u2014 or even agreed on how to proceed on it. To fix this, we need to change how we do business.<\/p>\n

The job of a Senator used to be to arrive in Washington<\/a> to debate, vote on, and accomplish all our agenda items before we allowed ourselves to go home.<\/p>\n

Sadly, that\u2019s no longer the case. In recent decades, under the leadership of both Democrats and Republicans, the Senate has worked less and less, and Americans felt the consequences of the legislature\u2019s lack of urgency.<\/p>\n

Right now, we take fewer than 10 votes a week. We arrive late Monday to vote and leave as soon as possible on Thursday afternoon. The Senate is rarely in session on Fridays and almost never works over the weekend \u2014 even when pressing deadlines approach on issues critical to the safety, security, and stability of the American people.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s not just election security that is at stake. We still need to fund the government to prevent another open-borders Democrat shutdown. We need to cut spending to reduce interest rates and inflation that are wreaking havoc on American budgets.<\/p>\n

America is the greatest country in the world. We have the strongest economy because of the workers who bust their butts every day to do their jobs, provide for their families, and achieve the American Dream.<\/p>\n

I think the Senate should demonstrate the kind of work ethic we depend on from the American people to keep our economy running. We have so many policies to enact before election day this November. If we still have work to do, then why do we only show up 2.5 days a week?<\/p>\n

Our situation is not a failure by any one party or individual, it\u2019s a problem that\u2019s been getting progressively worse for decades. Congress is decreasingly productive every year because we leave to go home on Thursday when there is still work to do.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m sure we would all love to be home with our families as much as possible \u2014 every American probably feels that way \u2014 but that\u2019s not the job we all asked our constituents to elect us to do. It\u2019s certainly not the job that I promised the people of Florida. I told them I\u2019d work as hard as I can to help them achieve the American Dream, stay safe, and live free.<\/p>\n

Time is short. Getting all of this done before November would mean staying in Washington until we figure out how to deliver it. It would mean sitting down and working together to find solutions, instead of throwing up our hands and going home.<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t take “no” for an answer, and we can\u2019t stop just because it\u2019s hard.<\/p>\n

To that end, I will be going directly to the Senate floor over the coming weeks to bring up policies that I ran on when I asked Floridians to vote for me.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s fix the problem. Let\u2019s stop flying home on Thursday after lunch, start voting more, and make good on our promises. That\u2019s what the American people deserve.<\/p>\n
