Anna Paulina Luna Blasts Senate Republicans, Urges Primaries Over SAVE America Act Battle

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna is calling for primary challenges against Republican senators she says are blocking the SAVE America Act, a piece of legislation aimed at tightening election requirements nationwide, as reported by The Gateway Pundit.

In a message posted to X, the Florida Republican criticized members of the Senate who she says are relying on the “talking filibuster” to stop the bill from advancing and urged Republican House members to challenge those senators in upcoming primaries.

The SAVE America Act would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections and would mandate voter identification nationwide.

Supporters of the bill say the measures are necessary to ensure election integrity ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The legislation has already passed the House but is currently stalled in the Senate. While Republicans hold 53 seats in the chamber, they do not have the 60 votes needed to overcome a filibuster.

Democrats remain unified in opposition, and several Republican senators have resisted changes to Senate rules that could allow the measure to move forward.

Luna sharply criticized senators she believes are preventing the legislation from advancing.

“The House GOP has a lot of flamethrowers. EVERY SINGLE SENATOR that is HIDING BEHIND THE TALKING FILIBUSTER needs to be PRIMARIED by one of the House members with a spine. POTUS should hold off on endorsing ANY more Senators until they do their jobs!” Luna wrote.

The congresswoman has previously taken aim at Senate Republican leadership during the debate surrounding the legislation.

She also publicly criticized Senate Majority Leader John Thune, accusing him of preparing to abandon the SAVE America Act.

Luna described that possibility as “very disturbing” and said it ignored the will of voters who support election security measures.

She has also criticized Lisa Murkowski over her position on voting rights issues, accusing the Alaska senator of misrepresenting her voting record during the debate surrounding the legislation.

As the bill remains stalled, Luna says House Republicans are considering further action. According to her comments, up to 50 House Republicans have pledged to halt Senate-related legislative activity until the SAVE America Act advances.

Luna has also suggested that the House could stop work on the floor entirely if the Senate continues to delay the legislation.

Good Afternoon America,
This week the Senate will learn all their bills will die in the House until they can get election integrity passed. We will kill every single one of their bills for as long as it takes.

In addition to pushing for primary challenges, Luna has urged President Donald Trump to refrain from endorsing senators who are unwilling to support the measure.

The congresswoman has also endorsed the idea of a Convention of States as a long-term solution for structural reforms to the federal government.

“It is time for a convention of states. Congress will never term limit itself… and as you are seeing it is broken. Too many of these cats get up to DC and hop onto the uniparty train. The problem is the uniparty doesn’t work for you! It works for special interest.”

A Convention of States refers to a process outlined in Article V of the United States Constitution.

The provision allows states to propose constitutional amendments through a national convention if two-thirds of state legislatures submit formal requests to Congress.

Currently, that threshold would require 34 states to apply for such a convention.

If the requirement is met, Congress must call the convention, where delegates from participating states would gather to propose constitutional amendments.

Any amendment proposed through the process would then require ratification by three-fourths of the states—38 states—before becoming part of the Constitution.

Throughout U.S. history, all 27 constitutional amendments have been proposed by Congress rather than through a convention requested by the states.

Support for the Convention of States effort has grown among several state legislatures. As of 2026, at least 20 states have passed resolutions supporting the initiative.

States that have adopted such resolutions include Georgia, Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Alabama, Arizona, Missouri, Arkansas, Utah, Mississippi, Wisconsin, Nebraska, West Virginia, South Carolina, and Kansas, which became the most recent state to join the effort in 2026.

Because the Constitution requires applications from two-thirds of the states, supporters of the initiative would still need 14 additional states to reach the threshold required for Congress to call a national convention.

The debate over the SAVE America Act and Luna’s comments has intensified divisions within the Republican Party as lawmakers continue negotiations over election legislation and Senate procedural rules.
