tl;drSUMMARY ACROSS OUTLETS

Coverage 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.
