GOP Hardliners Vow to Blockade Must-Pass Bills Unless Voter ID Demands Met

Fourteen Republicans blocked a 198-224 procedural vote as GOP leaders scrapped the week’s votes and pushed to revive the Trump-backed election measure.

  • Facing a significant legislative backlog before midterm elections, lawmakers must address the federal highway bill, farm bill, FISA 702 reauthorization, and 12 annual government funding bills within eight scheduled workdays.
