Hard-liners grind House agenda to a halt over SAVE America Act demands
House Republicans are refusing to advance legislation until the Senate acts on the election bill, as Trump presses GOP leaders to use hardball tactics.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson visited the White House on Thursday to press President Donald Trump to relent on demands that the Senate pass the SAVE America Act before any other legislation moves forward.
- Operations in the House ground to a halt after the Freedom Caucus joined Trump's demand, while the Senate adjourned Wednesday for a two-week July Fourth recess, leaving the chamber empty until July 13.

- Freedom Caucus members warn that failing to pass the election measure before November could lead to a "socialist takeover of America," as Rep. Diana Harshbarger argued securing elections is critical to the country's direction.
