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.
- House GOP leadership scrapped votes for the rest of the week on Tuesday, allowing lawmakers to begin their July 4 recess early after conservative Republicans blocked legislative business demanding action on the SAVE America Act.
- Led by Rep Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., the conservative group tanked a procedural rule for the National Defense Authorization Act, seeking to force the Senate to pass the Trump-backed SAVE America Act requiring voter ID.
- Lawmakers voted 198-224 against the procedural measure on Tuesday, as 14 Republicans joined Democrats in derailing the bill and halting House business entirely.
- House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., told reporters Monday, "It doesn't make any sense," yet the hardliners vow to continue blocking business when the chamber returns on July 13.
- 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.
