Johnson Pushes SAVE Act via Reconciliation | US News

House Speaker Mike Johnson is racing to fast-track Trump’s SAVE America Act through Congress using budget reconciliation — a high-stakes gambit that could bypass Senate filibuster rules and win with just a simple majority. Trump is applying intense pressure, delaying nominations and refusing to sign other bills until this election overhaul moves forward. The bill, already approved by the House, introduces strict voter ID and citizenship proof requirements, but faces a major roadblock: the Senate Parliamentarian ruled it ineligible for reconciliation. Johnson is trying to pivot, focusing only on voter ID provisions and even considering attaching the bill to the National Defense Authorization Act — a risky move that could jeopardize the defense bill. With Senate Republicans divided — some pushing to eliminate the filibuster entirely, others hesitant — Johnson’s goal is clear: pass this election law, unify the GOP, and secure the 2024 vote.
