Former President Trump’s latest allegations of election fraud received a subdued response from Republican lawmakers this week.
Most GOP members offered little comment on Trump’s claims of widespread voting vulnerabilities.
The muted reaction signals a shift among party leadership who previously echoed such statements.
Trump also failed to gain traction for the SAVE Act, a voting restriction bill he has championed.
The legislation did not appear to secure additional support following his renewed push.
Several Republicans declined to take a position on the bill in public statements.
Party strategists noted the issue does not resonate strongly with swing voters ahead of the midterms.
The lack of movement leaves the bill stalled in committee with no clear path forward.
Moderate members expressed concerns about alienating suburban voters over voting access debates.
Trump’s influence on the party’s legislative agenda appears limited on this specific issue.
