Multiple outlets (HuffPost, Mediaite, Yahoo News, MEAWW) report Trump's July 3, 2026 Mount Rushmore speech saying Republicans would "not lose an election for 100 years" if the filibuster were ended and the SAVE America Act passed. The claim's paraphrase ("guarantee Republican rule") drops the filibuster condition and uses different wording, but the core assertion is supported.
What was said
… And there, the evidence is, um, is indisputable that voting by mail is secure and safe, it's effective, and it's a way for people to exercise the franchise. What are they trying to do? They're trying to sow, um, chaos. Donald Trump said about his SAVE Act, his voter suppression bill, that it would guarantee Republican rule, I think, for a hundred years. Somebody will correct me if I got that wrong, but, um, he couldn't pass it, the Republicans wouldn't pass it, and so he went about all this other cockamamie ways of trying to, um, take the elections. …
Pivot · · from the transcriptPost →What we found
Supports. Mediaite quotes Trump saying, "if we terminate the filibuster as we should do and immediately vote for the SAVE America Act, then we will not lose an election for a hundred years."[3]
Supports. HuffPost reports Trump promised Republicans they "will not lose an election for 100 years" if they passed the SAVE America Act, in front of Mount Rushmore on a Friday in July 2026.[2]
Supports. Yahoo News and MEAWW report the same statement with the same quoted wording, consistent with a single speech.[4][5]
Context. The statement was conditional: Trump tied the 100-year outcome to ending the Senate filibuster and passing the SAVE Act, and the claim's phrase "guarantee Republican rule" is a paraphrase rather than his wording.[2][3]
Context. Trump separately said the SAVE Act would "guarantee the midterms" (Congressional Record, CNN), a related but different statement.[1][6]
