佛罗里达州联邦参议员、共和党人里克·斯科特呼吁参议院承担责任。斯科特批评参议院在未通过《拯救美国法案》的情况下就宣布休会，并敦促新任总检察长托德·布兰奇起诉安东尼·福奇博士。斯科特还谈及福奇最新公开的通话记录。

在送参议院议员下班的漫漫长夜里，各方达成交易、重要立法被搁置、承诺一再延期。
尽管《拯救美国法案》的最大支持者们四处放言，绝不放过任何一次推进法案通过的机会，绝不在未尝试推动法案通过的情况下离开华盛顿特区，但该法案最终还是被束之高阁。原本用来突破民主党阻挠、推进法案部分条款通过的工具也从未派上用场。
但就在议员们准备在清晨进行议会投票前，整个进程险些彻底崩盘。以下是深夜发生的一切，以及共和党人如何为参议院9月复会后的繁忙日程做准备。

无人提出反对
当华盛顿特区的太阳即将升起时，参议院正在收尾最后一刻的工作，但没有任何议员反对将休会至八月底。
犹他州联邦参议员、共和党人迈克·李受唐纳德·特朗普总统授权，曾誓言将提出反对动议，强迫进行议会投票，迫使议员们留在华盛顿，寻找通过《拯救美国法案》的途径。

参议院通宵始末指南
李甚至与其他几位共和党议员一道，阻挠共和党领导层达成的协议——该协议旨在敲定避免政府停摆等重大议题，并将其提交民主党批准，以确保能进行议会投票。
但承诺中的反对动议始终没有出现。唱名表决并未举行。李和其他议员转而接受了口头表决，对参议院宣布休会投下了反对票，但并未成功。
《拯救美国法案》与和解方案3.0
当晚另一项引发争议的议题是预算蓝图，该蓝图旨在规划如何在不受民主党阻挠的情况下推进《拯救美国法案》的部分条款。
这项蓝图注定失败，特朗普推动共和党人按下暂停键。

现任参议院预算委员会主席、威斯康星州联邦参议员罗恩·约翰逊计划重新起草预算决议案，增加对五角大楼的拨款。
“显然，我们将遵循总统的指示。这是他希望推进的方向，”约翰逊说道。
特朗普叫停参议院预算计划，推迟共和党推进《拯救美国法案》
但这次放缓对《拯救美国法案》而言又是一次打击，共和党人能在中期选举后的跛脚鸭会期前通过另一项预算决议案及后续和解法案的可能性大幅降低。
参议院多数党领袖、南达科他州联邦参议员约翰·图恩承认，“我们需要再推出一项和解法案”，但拒绝透露参议院何时能推进相关工作。
“我们拭目以待，”图恩说道。“我的意思是，我认为罗恩和他的团队会在休会期间推进这项工作，我们看看他们能拿出什么成果。”
大学体育赞助金额权益法案闹剧

本次通宵会议拖延许久的一个主要原因，是一项旨在重新划分与运动员姓名、形象和肖像权（NIL）相关巨额利益边界的大型大学体育法案。
这项由得克萨斯州联邦参议员特德·克鲁兹推动的法案，在提交参议院全院投票时遭到多名共和党议员反对。这促使特朗普在Truth Social上发帖呼吁参议院共和党人推进该法案，但仍未能打消反对声浪。
特朗普敦促国会在休会前通过《保护大学体育法案》：“我们必须完成这件事”
一位熟悉谈判进程的消息人士告诉福克斯新闻数字频道，随着深夜推进，局势变得愈发黯淡。
“我们基本陷入僵局，可能要熬到周一或周二，”他说道。
最终，在克鲁兹与密苏里州联邦参议员埃里克·施密特在图恩办公室会晤后，该法案被从更大的全院交易中剥离，并推迟至九月再议。
“我们将把法案提交给特朗普总统签署，为数十万大学生运动员带来成果，为大学体育带来稳定，”克鲁兹在一份声明中说道。
布兰奇与“对抗瞌睡之战”

代理总检察长托德·布兰奇的确认程序险些夭折，原因并非共和党议员倒戈，而是议员们疲惫不堪。
当终于进行连续投票，正式确认他接替前总检察长帕姆·邦迪时，时间刚过凌晨3点。参议员们已经准备好离场——特拉华州联邦参议员、民主党人克里斯·库恩斯已经把行李箱放在了参议院议事厅外。

但有两票关键票缺失：俄克拉荷马州联邦参议员詹姆斯·兰克福德与北卡罗来纳州联邦参议员汤姆·蒂利斯错过了此前的投票。通宵会议拖垮了他们的精神，而共和党需要他们的投票来确认布兰奇。
两人最终被叫醒并投下了赞成票，帮助特朗普拿下了历史上票数最接近的确认胜利之一，最终投票结果为50票赞成、49票反对。

Inside the Senate’s chaotic all-nighter that left Trump’s SAVE America Act on the shelf
August 11, 2026 6:30am EDT / Fox News
Sen Mike Lee’s promised objection to recess never materialized, and Trump directed Republicans to pull the budget resolution
By Alex Miller, Fox News
Sen. Rick Scott, R-Fla., calls to hold the Senate accountable. Scott criticizes the Senate for going on recess without passing the SAVE Act and urges the newly confirmed Attorney General, Todd Blanche, to prosecute Dr. Anthony Fauci. Scott also addresses Fauci’s newly released phone records.

During the long night to send the Senate home, deals were brokered, major legislation was punted and promises were extended.
The SAVE America Act never made it off the shelf, despite promises up and down from its biggest proponents to thwart any attempt to leave Washington, D.C., without trying to pass it. And the vehicle to blast through Democratic objections and pass parts of the bill never left the garage, either.
But it all nearly fell apart before lawmakers ever got a chance to hit the Senate floor for an early morning round of votes. Here’s what happened in the dead of night, and how Republicans are readying for a busy stretch when the Senate returns in September.

NO OBJECTION
The sun was about to rise in Washington, D.C., as the Senate tidied up last-minute work, but no lawmaker ever made an objection to adjourning for the rest of August.
Sen. Mike Lee, R-Utah, empowered by President Donald Trump, vowed that he would object and force a floor vote to keep lawmakers in Washington to find a way to pass the SAVE America Act.

THE HITCHHIKER’S GUIDE TO WHAT THE SENATE DID AND DIDN’T DO OVERNIGHT
He even stood in the way, along with several other Republicans for differing reasons, of the deal concocted by Republican leaders to get major items, like averting a shutdown, agreed to and sent to Democrats for their approval in a bid to get a guaranteed floor vote.
But the promised objection never came. A roll call vote didn’t happen. And Lee and others settled for a voice vote, responding “no” to the Senate adjourning for recess. They weren’t successful.
SAVE AMERICA AND RECONCILIATION 3.0
Another issue that played out during the night was over the budget blueprint designed to sketch out how to pass pieces and parts of the SAVE America Act without fear of Democrats blocking the process.
It was destined for failure, and Trump pushed Republicans to pull the plug.

Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., who is now at the helm of the Senate Budget Committee, plans to go back to the drawing board with his budget resolution and beef it up to include more funding for the Pentagon.
“We’re, obviously, with the president at his direction. This is what he wants to do,” Johnson said.
TRUMP PUMPS BRAKES ON SENATE BUDGET PLAN, DELAYING GOP SAVE AMERICA PUSH
But the slowdown serves as another blow to the SAVE America Act and vastly lowers the possibility that Republicans can get another budget resolution and forthcoming reconciliation package, passed before the lame-duck period after the midterm elections.
Senate Majority Leader John Thune, R-S.D., acknowledged that “we’re going to need to do another reconciliation bill,” but wouldn’t say just how soon the Senate could make it happen.
“We’ll see,” Thune said. “I mean, I think that Ron’s gonna work on it over the break, and his team, and we’ll see what they come up with.”
THE NIL DEBACLE

A major reason that the night dragged on as long as it did was because of a massive college sports bill to redraw the boundaries of the big money tied to name, image and likeness (NIL).
The package, pushed by Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, faced pushback from several Republicans over bringing it to the Senate floor. It prompted Trump to call on the Senate GOP to move the bill in a Truth Social post, but it wasn’t enough to kill the resistance.
TRUMP URGES CONGRESS TO PASS PROTECT COLLEGE SPORTS ACT BEFORE RECESS: ‘WE HAVE TO GET THAT DONE’
A source familiar with negotiations told Fox News Digital that things had become bleak as the night went on.
“We are pretty much at a standstill and could be here through Monday or Tuesday,” they said.
Ultimately, the bill was stripped from the larger floor deal and delayed until September after Cruz and Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Mo., huddled with Thune in his office.
“We will get the bill to President Trump’s desk and deliver results for hundreds of thousands of student-athletes and bring stability to college athletics,” Cruz said in a statement.
BLANCHE AND THE BATTLE AGAINST SLEEP

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche’s confirmation almost didn’t happen, not because of Republican defectors, but because of tired lawmakers.
When it finally came time to do back-to-back votes to officially lock him in as former Attorney General Pam Bondi’s replacement, it was just past 3 a.m. And senators were ready to go — Sen. Chris Coons, D-Del., had his suitcase ready just outside of the Senate floor.

But two key votes, Sens. James Lankford, R-Okla., and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., had missed the preceding votes. The late night had gotten to them, and Republicans needed them to confirm Blanche.
They were eventually roused and voted to confirm him, handing Trump one of the narrowest confirmation wins in history at 50-49.
