House Speaker Mike Johnson announced plans to bring a vote on a six-month government funding bill attached to legislation aimed at cracking down on noncitizen voting. The move faces opposition from Democrats and some Republicans, who criticize the bill as irresponsible spending or a political ploy.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., announced Tuesday that he was moving forward with a chamber-wide vote to stop a government shutdown with a bill attached meant to crack down on noncitizen voting. 'Congress has an immediate obligation to do two things: responsibly fund the federal government, and ensure the security of our elections,' Johnson said in a statement.
' 'Even with a shutdown and full fight into Oct, it would be too late for the SAVE Act to make a difference for this election because absentee ballots would already be being mailed and early voting already starting. I refuse to lie to anyone that this plan will work, and it’s already DOA this week,' she said. 'Speaker Johnson needs to go to the Democrats, who he has worked with the entire time, to get the votes he needs to do what he is already planning to do.
