It will be stopped in the senate by the filibuster,

Trump won’t have to sweat about vetoing it.

Depending on how many Republicans vote for it (media reports say 100 or more could), I would not rule out it overcoming the filibuster and passing the Senate. I think the bigger obstruction is Thune can largely just ignore it and refuse to bring it up for a vote. At some point, though if more information continues to come out, the pressure may become too much for Thune and the Republicans in the Senate to ignore.
