House Republicans are looking to get their agenda on track after a chaotic week
The GOP is trying to restart floor action after hard-liners blocked votes on spending and veterans bills over Trump’s elections measure.
- On Monday, House Speaker Mike Johnson confirmed he is sending the bipartisan housing affordability bill to President Donald Trump, asserting it will become law despite Trump's recent cancellation of a scheduled signing ceremony.
- Trump abruptly canceled the housing bill signing ceremony, demanding that Senate Republicans prioritize the SAVE America Act, a voter identification measure he declared a "National Emergency" that must precede all other legislation.
- Representative Anna Paulina Luna led a blockade of 25 Republicans pledging to vote against any Senate bills until the SAVE Act is attached to defense legislation, threatening to paralyze House floor proceedings.
- Returning to Washington on Monday, Johnson intends to bypass the Senate's 60-vote threshold by embedding the voter ID bill into a future budget reconciliation package to circumvent Democratic opposition.
- Facing a deadline of only about 28 days before midterm elections, lawmakers must pass critical spending bills to avoid a government shutdown while managing internal GOP divisions that threaten legislative progress.
