Mike Johnson plans to meet with Donald Trump after Trump tied his signature on a bipartisan housing bill to passage of the SAVE America Act. Johnson backed Trump’s move, while Anna Paulina Luna pushed to halt other House activity to force debate on the election legislation.
Trump canceled a planned signing of the housing bill and said his signature depended on Congress passing the SAVE America Act, which would strengthen voter ID requirements and require proof of citizenship in elections. The housing bill can become law without his signature after 10 days if congressional leaders present it to him.
Johnson, who had backed Trump’s move, said Trump would use more of the available time and that they would work through the issue together. Luna led a push to stop other House activity to force debate on the election legislation. Johnson also said Trump had agreed Republicans could seek to pass key parts of the act through budget reconciliation.
