Speaker Johnson Says House Will Pass Trump’s Voter ID Bill Through Arduous Process After GOP Revolt

Johnson says House Republicans will try to advance the voter ID bill through budget reconciliation after a GOP revolt stalled floor action.

  • House Speaker Mike Johnson plans to advance President Donald Trump's SAVE America Act using budget reconciliation when the House returns to Washington, linking it with the National Defense Authorization Act.
  • Last week, a group of conservative hardliners led by Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna blocked a key procedural vote to protest Congress failing to send the SAVE America Act to the president's desk.
  • During a Saturday speech celebrating the country's 250th anniversary, President Donald Trump reiterated his demands, while Senate GOP leaders maintain they lack the 60 votes needed to overcome the filibuster.
  • Senate parliamentarian Elizabeth MacDonough previously ruled the voter ID bill ineligible for reconciliation, while Wisconsin Republican Sen. Ron Johnson argues Republicans should eliminate the filibuster before Democrats do.
  • Johnson discussed his reconciliation strategy with Senate Majority Leader John Thune, who expressed doubts about the bill's contents, though Johnson insisted the legislation will focus on core ID and proof-of-citizenship requirements.
