President Donald Trump met with House Speaker Mike Johnson to discuss a House legislative blockade tied to the SAVE America Act. The dispute has also left a bipartisan housing bill awaiting Trump’s signature.
Johnson said he and Trump were aligned after their White House meeting and that Trump wanted to end the House blockade. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna has led Republicans in blocking votes on other legislation until Congress passes the SAVE America Act, which would require additional voter identification and proof of citizenship. One version passed the House but stalled in the Senate.
Trump called for Republicans to stop opposing House rules, while Johnson said the majority party should not vote down rules. Johnson also defended Trump’s decision to cancel a housing bill signing ceremony, and after the meeting said he would send the bill to the White House. Sen. Roger Marshall said Trump had urged Senate Republicans to prioritize the SAVE America Act over the housing bill.
