What happened
President Donald Trump’s push for the SAVE America Act has thrown House Republicans into a legislative standoff, with hard-liners threatening to block floor action until the Senate advances the stalled election bill. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and allied conservatives helped freeze the House agenda, forcing Speaker Mike Johnson to seek Trump’s help at the White House as GOP priorities piled up. After meeting Johnson, Trump urged Republicans to unify and end the blockade, saying Congress needs to get back to work even as he continues to prioritize the voter eligibility measure. The fight has exposed tactical divisions inside the GOP, with House conservatives trying to pressure Senate Republicans despite repeated doubts that the bill can pass there.
