Exclusive — Rachel Bovard: Senate Republicans ‘Waiting to Be Led’ to Pass SAVE America Act

Rachel Bovard, the vice president for programs at the Conservative Partnership Institute (CPI), said on Breitbart News Saturday that Senate Republicans are waiting to be led into a “broadly politically popular fight” to pass the SAVE America Act.
