特朗普称“我们将拭目以待”图恩是否是领导参议院共和党合适人选
总统唐纳德·特朗普并未完全支持参议院多数党领袖约翰·图恩，他在椭圆形办公室对记者表示，随着他引以为傲的《拯救美国法案》陷入停滞，“我们将拭目以待”图恩是否是领导参议院共和党人的合适人选。

数月以来，唐纳德·特朗普总统一直执着于一项立法优先事项。如今，该法案的一再失败可能正让参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州共和党人约翰·图恩失去总统的支持。
特朗普一直敦促共和党人通过《拯救美国法案》——这项他缺失的立法核心成就，并将对该法案的支持变成了一项忠诚度考验。
图恩已成为那些因法案在参议院未能推进而感到愤怒的人的攻击目标。数月来，特朗普基本没有因该法案的搁置进展批评过他。这种情况似乎已经改变。
两人关系出现细微裂痕源于图恩做了很少有共和党人愿意做的事：对特朗普说不。

“嗯，这对他来说太糟糕了，”当被问及图恩没有投票推动《拯救美国法案》时，特朗普说道，“我的意思是，这对他和共和党来说都太糟糕了。”
“他有投票权，”他继续说道，“他应该完成这项工作。他应该能够完成这项工作。”
尽管此前曾支持过图恩，但当被问及图恩是否是这份工作的合适人选时，特朗普似乎动摇了对他的支持。
“嗯，我们将拭目以待，到时我会告诉你们，”特朗普说。

在往返参议院议事厅的路上，图恩被记者追问特朗普的言论。当被问及特朗普对他作为参议院共和党领袖的支持是否动摇时，图恩暗示这不由他决定。
“我不知道该怎么说，”他说，“这是由我的同僚们做出的决定。”
他还驳斥了总统关于共和党人可以通过《拯救美国法案》的说法。
“那肯定是另一种算法，”图恩说。
图恩一再辩称，共和党根本没有足够票数通过《拯救美国法案》，这一立场日益让他与特朗普产生分歧。一个共和党议员团体从未支持过该法案，而参议院民主党人则普遍反对，这让图恩无法获得所需票数。

“我认为指责图恩——参议员图恩——是错误的，”堪萨斯州共和党参议员罗杰·马歇尔告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“这不是他的错。”
尽管如此，图恩还是推动了多项总统支持的重要立法，并让参议院的提名确认速度创下纪录，同时还要应对处境 vulnerable的共和党议员投下艰难政治选票的情况，以及势必处处阻挠特朗普议程的民主党人。
“我希望下一届国会，那些持有美国参议员选举证书、真正做出这项决定的人，能展现出一些独立性和勇气，”北卡罗来纳州共和党参议员汤姆·蒂利斯告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，“并认识到图恩帮助在这位总统的领导下， navigate了一个几乎不可能应对的局面。”
该法案曾以多种形式接受过多次表决，但从未获得通过所需的票数。图恩也曾表示，没有足够票数废除阻挠议事规则，而特朗普在其第二任期内一直推动废除该规则。
即便特朗普公开质疑图恩，这位参议院共和党领袖仍打算寻求连任，继续担任参议院共和党最高职位。
领导层由参议院共和党议员内部选举产生，而非由总统任命。图恩从一众候选人中脱颖而出，取代肯塔基州参议员米奇·麦康奈尔，与德克萨斯州参议员约翰·康恩以及佛罗里达州参议员里克·斯科特竞争，最终拿下参议院共和党最高职位。

到目前为止，他的同僚们都支持他。
曾与图恩竞选该职位的斯科特告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，他无意再次竞选参议院最高职位。他还指出，尽管自己曾渴望这份工作，但这是一份艰难的职业。
“约翰是个聪明人，”斯科特说，“他工作非常努力。所以我认为他不应该——你知道，成为领袖很难。”
“我们有很多问题尚未解决，所以这很艰难，”他继续说道，“我当时就料到会很难。”

Trump questions Thune’s leadership as SAVE America Act stalls
July 31, 2026 7:00am EDT / Fox News
Thune pushed back, saying Republicans lack the votes and calling Trump’s claim ‘a different form of math’

Trump says ‘we’re going to find out’ if Thune is the man to lead the Senate GOP
President Donald Trump didn’t fully back Senate Majority Leader John Thune, telling reporters in the Oval Office, “We’re going to find out” if Thune is the one to lead Senate Republicans as his prized SAVE America Act founders.

For months, President Donald Trump has fixated on one legislative priority. Now, its repeated failure may be costing Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., the president’s support.
Trump has badgered Republicans to pass the SAVE America Act, his missing legislative crown jewel, turning support for the bill into a loyalty test.
Thune has become the target for those irritated that the bill hasn’t moved in the Senate. For months, Trump largely spared him from criticism over the bill’s stalled progress. That appears to have changed.
The hairline fractures in their relationship stem from Thune doing what few Republicans are willing to do: tell Trump no.

“Well, that’s too bad for him,” Trump said when asked about Thune not having the votes to move the SAVE America Act. “I mean, that’s too bad for him and too bad for the Republican Party.”
“He’s got the votes,” he continued. “He should get it done. He should be able to get it done.”
And, though he’s backed him before, Trump appeared to waver in his support of Thune when asked if he was the right man for the job.
“Well, we’re going to find out, and I’ll let you know,” Trump said.

On his way to and from the Senate floor, Thune was pressed on Trump’s comments. When asked about Trump wavering on him as the leader of the Senate GOP, Thune signaled it wasn’t up to him.
“I don’t know what you say on that,” he said. “That’s a decision made by my colleagues.”
He also pushed back on the president’s assertion that Republicans could pass the SAVE America Act.
“That must be a different form of math,” Thune said.
Thune has repeatedly argued Republicans simply don’t have the votes to pass the SAVE America Act, a position that has increasingly put him at odds with Trump. A bloc of Republicans has never supported the legislation, while Senate Democrats overwhelmingly oppose it, leaving Thune without the votes.

“I think it’s wrong to blame Thune for this — Senator Thune,” Sen. Roger Marshall, R-Kan., told Fox News Digital. “This is not his fault.”
Still, Thune has moved major legislation backed by the president and has the Senate on a record pace for nominee confirmations, all while dealing with vulnerable Republicans taking tough political votes and Democrats who are bound to kneecap Trump’s agenda at every turn.
“I hope that the next Congress, the people with the election certificates as U.S. senators who actually make that decision, show some independence and courage,” Sen. Thom Tillis, R-N.C., told Fox News Digital. “And recognize that Thune has helped navigate an almost impossible scenario to navigate with this president.”
The legislation has been tested several times in a variety of forms, and has never gotten the needed votes to pass. And Thune has said the votes aren’t there to nuke the filibuster, which Trump has pushed for throughout his second term.
Even as Trump publicly questions Thune, the Senate GOP leader intends to seek another term as the top Republican.
Leadership is elected internally by Senate Republicans, not by the president. Thune came out of a crowded field to replace Sen. Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., battling Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., to get the top spot in the Senate GOP.

And his colleagues, so far, have his back.
Scott, who ran against Thune, told Fox News Digital that he had no intention of running for the top gig in the Senate again. He also noted that even though he wanted it, it’s a difficult profession to take on.
“John’s a smart guy,” Scott said. “He is working really hard. So I think he shouldn’t — you know, it’s tough to be the leader.”
“We’ve got a lot of issues we haven’t addressed, so it’s hard,” he continued. “I assumed it was gonna be hard.”
