The SAVE America Act needs 60 votes in the Senate to overcome a filibuster, according to recent reporting. The House already passed it earlier on a simple majority vote of 218-213 , but the Senate threshold is the key hurdle.

What that means

  • House: simple majority, so 218 votes was enough in that earlier vote.
  • Senate: 60 votes are needed to move it forward under the filibuster rules.
  • Reports say it currently does not have those 60 votes.

Quick scoop

So the short answer is: 60 votes in the Senate.

TL;DR: The SAVE America Act can pass the House with a simple majority, but in the Senate it needs 60 votes unless the chamber changes the rules.
