Rep. Anna Paulina Luna said she would seek to make passage of the SAVE Act a condition for reopening the government if Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer shuts it down. She also said she would push for a Senate vote even if the government stays open.
Luna said she had support from another Republican member to attach the SAVE Act to legislation Schumer sends back to the House. She described the bill as non-negotiable and said she would press for a Senate vote regardless of whether the government remains open. The bill would require proof of U.S. citizenship to register to vote in federal elections.
The article reports that Senate Democrats voted to block legislation to fund the Department of Homeland Security while negotiations continued to avert a shutdown. It said a partial shutdown could happen Jan. 31 if Congress did not pass a funding measure.

3 OUTLETSCoverage describes a dispute over adding the SAVE Act to a government-funding package: Trump opposed including it, while Luna pressed for action on the election measure. Center outlets emphasize Luna’s effort to obtain a Senate vote, including her shutdown condition and her later support for funding after an assurance of a vote. Right-leaning outlets stress Trump’s effort to keep the measure out of the package and portray it as undercutting Luna and other conservatives seeking voter-ID and citizenship requirements.
